★★★★½ (4.5⭐)
"A genuinely delightful piece of theatre, The Last Wolf in Ireland tells the story of Noah, a werewolf, and his best friend Colm as they embark on a very chaotic sleepover. With humour and heart, this play is an exploration of friendship, the pressure on people to ‘be grand’ despite the difficulties in their lives and the visibility of women’s achievements..."

"Rachel is a genius! The script is so witty and quick!"
"Jack and Will bounce off each other wonderfully, and their use of the set makes it all feel lived in (ironically). Rachel is a genius! The script is so witty and quick! Josh's composition is stellar, and the little references to retro classics like Blister In the Sun and Paint It Black were very appreciated. It was so nice to go to a show and just have fun throughout, with the highs and lows maintaining attention and interest consistently."

"Funny and kept me guessing."
"I was checking what's on in the theatre and found the play's description funny.
It was really good, especially for a preview. The piece was funny and hung a few Chekhov's guns around so it kept me guessing on how it would end. Pretty enjoyable."
