“Chris’ production of john & jen was illuminating for both Andrew and myself: warm, witty and wise.  I’ve seen many incarnations of the show and this was, without a doubt, one of the most imaginative and provocative to date.”

Tom Greenwald (Lyricist, john & jen)

“FOUR out of FIVE Stars”

The Sunday Express

“…an emotionally complex piece with searing, resonant songs that are both gorgeously melodic in their own right and full of wit and feeling.  Those qualities are expertly brought out in Christopher Lane’s intense and moving production…”

Mark Shenton, The Stage (Full Review)
