'A brilliant piece of theatre… a marvellously luminous and engaging
show that teaches us, entertains us and finally transports us'
*The Arts Desk*
'Blindingly ingenious… a stunning mix of communal and personal
epiphany that’s the hi-tech equivalent of chomping on a
hallucinogenic cane toad'
*Time Out*
'This is, in every sense, an adventure… both an extraordinary yarn
and an expedition into theatrical possibility'
*The Times*
'Astonishing... a hypnotic, almost religious experience that
warrants those two much-abused terms, "immersive" and
"unmissable"'
*Evening Standard*
'Masterful storytelling from a man and a company who are incapable
of remaining within known theatrical boundaries'
*Independent*
'The stuff of a twisting, turning, thoroughly engrossing
fairytale... McBurney captures the metaphysical spirit - as well as
the pulse-quickening heart - of the experience with this
head-turning, spellbinding show'
*Telegraph*
'The effect is a soundcloud of a process, in which fact and
fiction, past and present, research and production intermingle,
spinning a story out of the air'
*Variety*
'Astonishing… the power of this story is enough to knock you
flat'
*WhatsOnStage*
'In a solo performance made with many people... [McBurney] pulls
the thread of a story from out of the noise of contemporary western
life and the sounds of the jungle to create a meditation on
interconnectedness, perception and time'
*Guardian*
'The Encounter is a tour de force that shows contemporary theatre
at its most immersive and thought-provoking'
*Financial Times*
