Time Out“The downhome approach works brilliantly...” Maybe Guthrie simply doesn't loom large enough in our Pantheon, but I felt a rethink for a UK audience could have brought a bit of much-needed steel to this piece, though there is a tremendous heart at its centre...

this is london“The music is snappy, humorous and politically subversive...” Woody Sez is the very opposite of an ostentatious, glitzy musical.

Guardian“Stirringly captures the rebellious spirit of Guthrie's times...” The terrific on-stage quartet, playing a variety of instruments, some of which I've never seen before, whip up quite a storm in a joyful, foot-tapping show that is part-concert, part-biography. Like Guthrie, this is a plain, unembroidered piece...
