“Greg Scurr was a standout performance. His ability to not only play one of the travelling troupe but to come alive as Jordan Harrison himself was nothing short of incredible. When Scurr first starts talking as Harrison in the second act, the audience knew they were in for a spectacular treat. They way Scurr interacted with the audience was magical and brought every member into the show. ”

“The cast delivered excellent comic and tragic performances, with Matthew Filkins as Larking, Lia Davies as Rona, and Greg Scurr as Gregory and the Playwright being especially notable. All of the actors drew a richness and complexity from their characters, as well as playing a version of themselves to interact with the Playwright.”

“Greg Scurr also plays the contrasting witty playwright with aplomb – he’s a joy to watch.”

“This realistic approach is also adopted in Geoff Squires’ lighting design. A gentle warmth envelopes the stage, paying homage to the Californian climate of where the play is set. However, in unison with Greg Scurr’s sound design, there are particular moments in which this state shifts to emphasise the character’s appreciation for art. As the lights dim subtly, a snare drum beat rises ever so slightly to underscore the character’s moments of passion.”

Toy Symphony by Michael Gow is expertly constructed by the cast at Ad Astra’. ‘Greg Scurr alternating from a young german school boy to tyrannical headmaster is as entertaining as it is terrifying.’

It is also very funny at times, particularly through Scurr’s Act One appearances as Rowland’s Latvian childhood friend Nick, whose hyperbolic declarations of love of beautiful women are matched only by his profane exclamations of excitement.

‘A display of Astra-nomical talent. The performance is enthralling owing to its animated and dynamic reel of highly relatable characters. Each of the cast members demonstrates an impressive range, employing dramatic tension and impeccable comedic timing.’
