This is one of the best pieces of dark theatre that I have ever seen. It really benefited from its intimate setting in London, taking the audience on a truly intense journey. I would highly recommend this to anyone, theatre lover or not....

Two outstanding performances from the cast, an incredibly difficult play to get right. They are only let down at times by the script itself which I felt was a little too long and could have done with some sensible editing. On the whole, well worth seeing if you're looking for some dramatic and at times 'in your face' theatre. ...

Very rarely do you find a production that draws you in, keeps hold of you, shakes you about and then drops you exhausted both mentally and physically like The Audition. With its claustrophobic feeling and tension throughout, you aren't just taken on a demented journey, you are strapped in the passenger seat and there is no escape. Both the performances from Ellie Colyer Alasquez and Julia Scott-Russell are breath-taking, and with Kate Muir's pitch perfect direction, this is a production that just doesn't demand your attention, it shouts for it and trust me, you will definitely reap the rewards. Oh, and never have I sat through a play and actually flinched the way I did with this. Truly outstanding. Miss it at your peril!...

One of the best things I have seen this year. The Audition was an awesome performace. The energy of the actors highlighted the suject matter, which was thought provoking. I for one will never forget it. This play will leave feeling for Lauren and trying to understand Stella....

This show was a serious fun time...deep, and thought provoking. I could watch this performance again adn again, Ellie was magnificent as Stella, and Julia played Lauren with great delicateness. Definetly an emotional rollercoaster I could ride forever.
Bravo Ellie!...
