"There are a lot of laughs in Gypsy Queen."

"The whole play is written not only with humour but with keen, tender insight and an evident working knowledge of the world in which it’s set."

British Theatre Guide

​"Once again, Rob Ward shows he is an actor deserving of a wider audience...Oh, and for those who were wondering, there is no part of Rob Ward not on display in this production, if you get my meaning"
