What I liked

Lindsay Lucas-Bartlett gives an outstanding performance which is both deep and sensitive, yet with classic comedic timing. The show has perfect momentum and we stay engaged and enthralled at every poignant twist and turn of Lindsay’s real life journey. Very entertaining!

My overall impression

A superb show; Lindsay Lucas-Bartlett gives a one-woman masterclass; and Trust Me I’m From Essex gets a sharp, funny revival. Capably directed by Director/Actor Lindsay Perry– it’s a must-see not only because it is an accomplished show, but because it’s an astonishing masterclass in acting- a marathon of a monologue that holds us in thrall.

What is wonderful about Lucas-Bartlett’s performance is, in part, her pacing. Her exceptional relaxation on stage is never at the expense of dramatic momentum. Lindsay’s background in improv comedy shines through her comedic songs which are not only hilariously entertaining, but also engagingly heartfelt.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
