Review:
Catcher in the Rye meets Arctic Monkeys.” The Times
"This superb stage version of Richard Millward's debut novel is - like an underage Trainspotting - an upbeat and sometimes even joyous affair that suggests that for all the trials and tribulations of the teenage years, the kids are probably going to be OK."
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
Adaptor and director John Retallack's version works very well. Anyone wanting to understand - or, at any rate, to begin to understand - the pressures young people face in growing up at the bottom of our society's heap should see Apples. But don't expect an enjoyable evening of theatre - moving, illuminating, superbly well done, certainly, but "enjoyable" is definitely not the right word!” British Theatre Guide
A superb stage version of Richard Milward's debut novel It's a funny-sad, ugly-beautiful night out, nicely performed by its young cast and swirling with the sweaty, dirty poetry of everyday life. 4 stars”
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
A neat, pacey production A rollercoaster ride through adolescence in all its frantic, anxious, smeary, glittering glory.”
