Reviews
Melanie Spencer's debut play has plenty of spark - unexpectedly affecting, and, in the encounters between Daisy and Alice, Spencer demonstrates that she is a playwright of real talent who can bring a smile of recognition to our faces.' Guardian, Lyn Gardner 'Melanie Spencer's exceedingly attractive and accomplished debut play Responsible Other is full of lively wit and sharp observation, as her beautifully acted production brings out - warmly recommended.' Independent ' - a bold, funny and impressive debut.' Time Out '[A] fierce and compelling debut play from writer/director Melanie Spencer - The way she captures the dynamics of high-pitched youthful female friendship is exquisite.' London Evening Standard 'Responsible Other shows much promise: characters are well drawn and differentiated, with strong and likeable personalities. The progression of the various relationships is engaging and dramatic, and Spencer's focus on and approach to Lupus disease is illuminating and insightful' A Younger Theatre 'Responsible Other is an astonishingly good debut. So amusing, so moving, so acute emotionally - A remarkably rich first play.' Times
