[Christina Fulcher @FulcherMovement]

“[Jenna] is a very physical actor, using her whole body, especially her arms, hands and face frenetically and with great imagination…by movement director Christina Fulcher”

Plus incredible collaboration by stellar team! 🤍 @WildcardTheatre @jenna_fincken

Still thinking about this terrific play. Fincken’s hard hitting hour long piece about coercive control leaves a lasting impact. Review via @TheReviewsHub @swkplay #RUCKUS

[Christina Fulcher @FulcherMovement]

“An elastic physical language created by Movement Director…turns the impact of Ryan’s coercion into a physical manifestation…@Georgia___Green brings together the technical elements with great poetry and precision, creating a visceral and painful piece of storytelling” #teamwork

[Musical Theatre Review @MusicalTheatreR]

Still thinking about @jenna_fincken’s play #Ruckus, running at @swkplay until 29 Oct. ‘Did you see it?’ she asks as we witness a relationship poisoned by coercive control. The writing is so powerful, it’s not understating the case to say that it could save lives @WildcardTheatre

#THEATRE #REVIEW Ruckus @swkplay @WildcardTheatre 'Jenna Fincken’s debut play and, if this devastating piece is anything to go by, she has a long and successful writing career ahead' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

RUCKUS by @jenna_fincken @WildcardTheatre @swkplay is essential watching and such a commendable piece of theatre. So powerfully and cleverly held 👏🏻

I felt comforted and extremely grateful.

THANKYOU.

[The Edinburgh Saint @edinburgh_saint]

So out of 35 shows I saw in five days my favourites were @ManicStCreature, @bloodyelle_, @painesplough hungry, @KETCHUPprods Jesus, Jane Mother and me, and @colinhoult the death of Anna mann. I will now recover from Covid (cough, cough). #EdFringe2022

[Ryan McBryde @McBrydeRyan]

Highlights from @edfringe Day 3

@ManicStCreature by @maimunamemon is gut wrenchingly good

#Hungry - killer script, beautifully directed by @katieposner

@bloodyelle_ is heartbreaking & hilarious in equal measure - I’ll never look at guacamole in the same way @laurynredding

[Matthew Bulgo (he/him) @MatthewBulgo]

#ManicStreetCreature @ManicStCreature was one of my stand-outs of the festival. Powerful storytelling and impactful music. Tender then raw. Soaring then coming apart at the seams. The kind of show that gets in underneath your skin and you can’t shake it off. Superb theatre.

[Jonathan Sayer @JonathanSayer1]

If anyone gets the opportunity try and see @ManicStCreature today. It's beyond excellent. Incredibly moving, thoughtful and @maimunamemon is brilliant. An amazing storyteller, artist and musician.
