Reviews
“The quality of the performances...aided in no small part by James Beagon’s direction, which is tightly focused and full of pace
All Edinburgh Theatre r.e Parasites
“A hugely enjoyable show.”
Families Edinburgh r.e Gobland for the Goblins
“All of the elements needed for strong theatre – excellent script and a powerful cast – are present in Antigone na h’Éireann, making it essential viewing.”
Manchester Theatre Awards r.e Antigone na h’Eireann
“This production recently won Best New Writing at the Buxton Fringe 2014, and it’s clear to see why.”
Edinburgh Reporter r.e First Class
“As always with Fringe, you see things you might not normally see, where you may be challenged, taken out of your comfort zone and made to sit up and take notice.
Antigone na h’Eireann did all this and more.”
North West End r.e Antigone na h’Eireann
“Well-scripted by writer/director James Beagon, this is a sensitive and thought-provoking play.“
Broadway Baby r.e Lest We Forget
“Playwright James Beagon’s work is breathtakingly ambitious…a sterling example of high-concept theatre done right.”
Fringe Guru r.e Women of the Mourning Fields
“Intellectual, challenging and very satisfying.“
Broadway Baby r.e Women of the Mourning Fields
“Women of the Mourning Fields is a compelling, always entertaining piece of theatre that puts a new spin on history. Don’t miss it.”
All Edinburgh Theatre r.e Women of the Mourning Fields
“Definitely worth watching to see just how successfully Aulos Productions managed this unique and risky concept.“
The Student r.e Julius Caesar
“Surprisingly emotional and funny yet simple, exploring the fact that sometimes all we need is a little chat.”
The Skinny r.e Juliet & Juliet
“Excellent direction“
The 730 Review r.e Parasites
“Beagon is on target…the references are excellent and familiar.”
The Wee Review r.e This Mortal Coil
“Masterfully weaved.”
Mumble Theatre r.e A Winter’s Oresteia
““In terms of adaptation, Beagon has scored a pretty direct hit.”
All Edinburgh Theatre r.e A Winter’s Oresteia
“In this paramount aspect Beagon’s careful and respectful adaptation of Sword at Sunset far excels the 2011 movie version of The Eagle of the Ninth. I’d very much like to see him presented with the $25m that went into the film”
Edinburgh49 r.e Sword at Sunset
“James Beagon has crafted a superb version of Antigone”
Number 9 Reviews r.e Antigone na h’Eireann
“James Beagon’s script is a masterpiece of understatement”
Buxton Fringe Review r.e First Class
“James Beagon’s play is an entertaining whodunit.”
