““This breakneck two-hander will smack you upside the head… The speed and precision of the performers, aided by minimal, emphatic design, make a breathlessly exciting 45 minutes.”

- Peter Crawley, The Irish Times

 

“Leper + Chip is a spectacular writing debut and spectacularly performed

by Conall Keating and Amilia Clarke Stewart... It’s directed with pretty well

faultless precision by Karl Shiels.”

- Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent

 

“A remarkable writing debut from Dublin writer Lee Coffey... Leper + Chip has enough appeal and promise to reduce the age demographic of the typical Irish theatre audience, yet its fresh-faced vitality will appeal to all... by director Karl Shiels, who levels this to a truly excellent production.”

- Eithne Shortall, The Sunday Times

 

“Its sharply written, neatly constructed, and brilliantly performed by Conall

Keating and Amilia Clarke Stewart. Shiels appears to have wrung every last performative drop of sweat from these two vibrant young actors who hurl their story in our face without a shred of energy in reserve, and with endearing force, speed and feverish elan.”

- John McKeown, Irish Independent

 

“Confirmation that there are some very fine young actors on the Irish scene at present. Conall Keating and Amilia Clarke Stewart give outstanding performances in a show that’s played at exhausting pace under the direction of Karl Shiels.”

- Michael Moffatt, The Irish Mail on Sunday

 

“Lee Coffey’s script, fizzing with quickfire colloquialisms and smart observations, is deftly handled by Keating and Clarke Stewart who, under the direction of Karl Shiels, both give committed, high-caffinated performances.”

- Daragh Reddin, Metro Herald
