REVIEWS:

; “macabre and intoxicating performance…The Vampire Rabbit gave Newcastle a glimpse at the creativity and purpose of circus in modern times.”
Review of 'The Vampire Rabbit', 2016

“A musical grotesque, they clearly take inspiration from groups such as 1927, Kill the Beast and Les Enfants Terribles, but in their mixing of gruesome comedy, movement and a real political and social message, their work is very promising.” 
Review of 'Canary' Exuent Magazine, 2015

"...exploiting the performers’ familiarity with the space through intensely site-specific devices and structure... the whole piece left me with high expectations for Jukka’s future work."
From a review of ‘pull-over’ by The Skinny, 2009

"darkly evocative story-telling where poetic text is strikingly amplified through orchestrated gesture and ensemble patterning...Robyn Hambrook's take on Angela Carter's The Erl King allowed her chorus of five women to frame her words with well-judged actions" ***Mary Brennan, Herald 2009

"a spectacular 80-minute staging of Harold Pinter's 1981 play Family Voices...exciting, intensely theatrical show" **** Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman 2010
