“Frank Bramwell’s extraordinary retro piece of work closely resembles one of the autobiographical works of Tennessee Williams . . . it gives every impression of actually being written at that time."

“It is well directed by Arnaud Mugglestone and the clever multiple set is by Edward Lidster who also seems to have one foot in the fifties.”

“Set in America during the recession of 1958, Frank Bramwell’s beautiful and absorbing play has particular resonance in today’s economic climate.”

“Frank Bramwell's play Shooting Clouds is a sharply observed social drama with a very topical overtone.”

“Shooting Clouds is an accomplished and engaging play made all the more so considering the current economic climate we are experiencing.”

“I don't know whether dramatist Frank Bramwell is an American (I think not), but to me this seemed a very convincing piece of Americana. It is a script that fits into a way of presenting American life that is familiar from Steinbeck to Miller.”

“Aided by a clever three-part stage layout, fine performances from the whole cast ably match the qualities of a deftly nuanced script.”

"It's really the acting that makes this production so memorable. The performances are of an exceptionally high calibre and while Bret Jones is the stand out, Jennifer Belander puts in a superbly touching performance in a role that is much subtler and altogether more demanding.”

“You can tell it’s a good play when you want to stand up in the middle of a scene and demand that the characters take back their decisions, or persuade them to see things from the privileged view of the audience.” 

“Shooting Clouds is a fine drama, topical in its economic theme, but also affecting in the philosophical issues that are truly resonant for this or any era.”
