The Mummy reviews just in!

<img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/Mummy%20sex%20scene_0.jpg" style="width: 225px; height: 150px;" /> “…Milner’s script reminds me of the golden age of radio comedy with its wordplay and double talk, complemented by much on-stage comic business of Harmston’s devising. The laughs keep coming…. a laugh-out-loud romp, played to the hilt by a very funny ensemble….

Saving Winnie

by Jack Milner "A brilliant and surreal comedy in which the Winnie of the title believes that she is visited by God, in the form of Eurovision song contest winner Dana... it crackles with some great one liners..." Kensington and Chelsea Times

Derrick's Dilemma

Venue: Old Red Lion Theatre "Milner writes a free flowing, humourous and entertaining play, cheekily and winningly performed by Ben Walden."  Helen Rose, Time Out.

The Shock Theatre Company's History of the Theatre

Written by Jack Milner Edinburgh Festival and Theatre 503 “Sublime in it’s silliness!” The Stage “A truly original sketch show… and very funny.”  The Independent

Lichfield Mysteries

One of the world's largest cast theatre events with over 700 actors. “… our greatest coup was hiring Jack Milner… his vision for the cycle was ground breaking – his infectious enthusiasm and his organisational abilities are superb!” Chris Arnold, Chairman for Lichfield Mysteries 2006

"Maggie's End"

The Shaw Theatre, London Directed by Jack Milner Written by Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood “Crammed with excellent jokes, Maggie’s End has the tang of real emotion, real anger and attitude - its stirring blasts of rage and mockery are bound to be heard elsewhere soon” The Spectator “Brims appealingly with undeniable passion….in this instance, Vote Thatcher&rd

Snow White

<h3> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/kara%20and%20joe.jpg" style="width: 107px; height: 107px;" /></h3> Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Bristol Hippodrome <h4> Bristol Evening Post review</h4> Crackerjack rating: 9 / 10. Mirror, mirror on the wall – which is the most magnificent panto of them all? Judging by last night’s show, Bristol Hippodrom’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs could well be it.&

"Octopus Soup! easily earns its laughsAn entertaining farce with a moral message that delivers on laughs…Plenty of entertaining physical comedy"

“The actors are hilarious. The health effects of laughter are considerable, and the Theatre of Kotka gives an honorable contribution for a better health”

“…audience rewards the gags with constant laughter and applause. The Mummy, a classic to live for five thousand years”

“A delightfully silly and gloriously entertaining evening.”

“If you long for a good belly laugh, then this brand-new British farce! Octopus Soup!… is the performance to see.”

"From deepest, darkest, dangerous Egypt a legendary curse is stirring back into life and we're all going along for an outrageous, terrifying ride!" Now available from stagescripts.com

"I love the unpredictability of his writing across all his work that I have read. There is always an eccentric angle taken as he explores ideas and characters and that leads to strong and performable comedy."

"There is a lot to love about Octopus Soup, including Marvin’s witty one-liners and Malapropisms and Gloria’s chaotic character”

"The first thing we ask is whether the director can bring something a bit different, a vision that we never envisaged. Jack did that brilliantly for us with Maggie's End."
