“
Tunes of Glory”
by James Kennaway
No.1 National Tour 2006/07
Cast included: Patrick Ryecart, Stuart McGugan, Richard Walsh, Rupert Baker, Alex Hardy
The Daily Telegraph Theatre Critic’s Choice
“Lunney’s production grips througout; his barracks design is ingenious... A Triumph” Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
“Quality drama of the highest order... absorbing and immensely satisfying... Michael Lunney has done a superlative job in creating a fabulous, visually impressive piece of theatre which exploits the talents of its 15-strong cast to the full. Theatre does not get much better than this: state-of-the art projection techniques, subtle lighting and seamless transitions combine to create an absorbing work” South Wales Evening Post
“Michael Lunney’s dramatisation was the finest piece of theatre I have ever seen at this venue... all the grace, dignity and heroism of a shakespearean tragedy” Somerset County Gazette
“Dial M For Murder”
by Frederick Knott
No.1 National Tour 2004/05
Cast included: Steven Pinder, Richard Walsh, Joy Brook, Richard Grieve
“Lunney’s take on the play subverts the expected and gives us, instead, a much more complex theatrical experience. It’s the classic thriller from the post-Stoppard perspective! But unlike Stoppard’s parody - and Inspector Hubbard is emphatically not Inspector Hound - it remains respectful and, although it subverts the genre, it leaves Knott’s play untarnished. In fact, it’s hard to imagine how else one can play a classic thriller such as this one today and make it more than a period piece... Good performances from everyone in the cast contributed to a very enjoyable evening’s theatre.”
The British Theatre Guide
“Hitchcock himself would have been proud of this modern adaptation” The Northern Echo
“Some classic thrillers just won’t lie down and disappear. Michael Lunney, whose Middle Ground Theatre Company has matured remarkably over the past few years, has gone whole-heartedly for the authentic approach. ****”
