British Theatre Guide
"Vertigo is the last installment
of Red Shift's Picture House triptych of theatre productions drawing
on source material best known through landmark movies. It follows
hot on the heels of The Third Man and Get Carter. Best known as
Hitchcock's classic movie, Jonathan Holloway unearths the original
tale that inspired a great film and in the process uncovers another
lost gem."
BBC website arts review
"Visual genius and superb
staging heightened the intrigue. The
actors/actresses were pure diamond edged talent. A classic triumph,
a superbly adapted masterpiece and a must see theatre production."
What's On Stage
"I must confess that I've
only seen one Red Shift production - Vertigo - but it left me
raging to see more. Their style inhabits the kind of exciting
ground that never gets seen in London. Too modest for the Barbican,
too original for the West End. Their version of the French novel
that Hitchcock once filmed was set, improbably, in an institutionalized
communal bathroom, yet the creative excitement of the production
grabbed me from start to finish. I've missed something over the
years by not catching their work before."
