Kimberley Shaw (Stage Whispers)
An interesting blend of Agatha Christie style mystery, absurdism, and Australian humour…
Paul Treasure (Theatre Reviews Perth)
The humour… is never not funny, and helps to maintain a lightness to the material. The actual whodunnit side of the play is incredibly ingenious and quite believable in a contemporary setting.
Will Crawford (NT comedian)
[Under the Table] is a comedic and surreal take on the murder mystery… an innovative mix reminiscent of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… a fast-paced crowd pleaser, full of laughs and surprising revelations. A great night out.
Emma Wood (playwright)
Sean Guy’s “Under the Table” is an endearing and quirky murder mystery which prioritises comedy over mystery, and succeeds in doing so… an amusing tale executed with flourish.
