“A superb production, and a timely revival of a fascinating play; beautifully designed, and cast to the hilt - how on earth could you afford such quality?  Everyone was wonderful, and it is almost invidious to pick out Will Keen (except he is the lead, and quite remarkable as such) and the heart-breaking Phoebe Nicholls. Huge congratulations to all concerned.” 

“It is a very long time since I have been so swept up by a play, and taken into another world and another time for a totally absorbing evening. You have done British theatre a great service in giving this play a definitive new production, with an impeccably edited text and with every detail right. Congratulations.” 

“A very powerful production with outstanding ensemble work from the company. The end is absolutely knockout and brings the whole play into focus. The Almeida experience is, as always, delightful with friendly staff and delightful surroundings. Thank you all very much.”
 
“Fantastic production and grippingly performed”

“Waste was just superb! Our first visit to the theatre - but won't be our last - the whole experience from the booking of the tickets with a most helpful lady to the comfort and performance was most enjoyable - so looking forward to the next time!”

“Another magnificent evening! I thought I might wilt in the second half but I was totally gripped throughout. Impeccable acting from the whole cast, no matter how big or small the part – I particularly loved the scene between Will Keen and Phoebe Nicholls – beautifully staged and dressed."
 
“Waste provides a perfect insight how power works. Highly recommended! Brilliant cast displays the carefully balanced aspects in private and public relationships.” 

“Please convey our congratulations to everyone concerned with last night's performance. Strongly acted, very well written and directed with an absorbing argument. The players in the last few moments were also especially affecting. The sets were superb!!”  

“It is an interesting play and you put on an excellent production with overall first-class casting. Richard Cordery, Patrick Drury, Phoebe Nicholls and Peter Eyre I thought outstanding."
 
“It was a joy and privilege to follow this wonderful play so closely and observe the amazing acting - it was a great evening."
  
"MARVELLOUS play, design, acting, and music!" 

“Probably the best thing I’ve seen this year - terrific cast and intelligently directed: what a clever boy Sam is! And how clever of Michael to have asked him to do it: perfect timing! Full marks all round.” 
 

“A most excellent production” 
 
“Sam West has done a brilliant job of marshalling a complex play, full of interesting ideas, into a lucid fascinating expose of political mores which are as relevant today as then. Well done Almeida for spotting this excellent play, casting it SO well and launching it with such aplomb. When I got home last night I sat down to do my emails, and felt constrained to tell everyone I had to respond to  that I had just spent one of the best nights at the theatre of my life!"
 
“I was quite mesmerised by the play and enjoyed it a lot. It was one of those plays I kept thinking about for the next few days, so I guess you'd call it quite affecting. Thanks again - and congratulations on such a success.”
 
“I really enjoyed Waste last night - I thought it was a marvellous production and wonderfully acted”
 
”I thought this was a great production of a most interesting play. It was a treat to see a play that was actually about something, with a large and excellent cast and good sets. Thoroughly enjoyable evening - a success all round."
 
“Great evening; great to discover more about the author and his work. Thank you.” 
 
“We were very impressed with all aspects of the play. The performances were all excellent - the portrayals given by Will Keen and Phoebe Nicholls were superlative. Thanks for a moving, memorable and thought provoking experience.” 
  
“Three hours of really credible performances - excellent value for money.” 

“A superb production of Waste with a marvellous cast. Will Keen was mesmerising. Seats only £10 for OAPs: magnificent! Long may the Almeida thrive!”
 
“I thought Waste was amazingly good. The performances and the production awareness of the historical and political history and the implications of these were remarkable. There was exceptional awareness of the necessity to take pause time to convey the thought behind utterances. Extremely well cast. There seemed to be a deep understanding of Granville Barker's dialogue and his appreciation of individual characters.” 
  
“A superb play which travels well in time and is just as right today as when written. Well acted, beautifully cast and thoughtfully directed. A great night out.”
