Limehouse

'Bitterly funny... the story of the SDP is one of political history's most intriguing "what if's". Limehouse expertly adds to its mystique'

* Telegraph *

'Richly enjoyable… Steve Waters' deliciously well-written, quick-paced play is timely… the clash of politicians' vanities feels spot on'

* Daily Mail *

'A highly intelligent account of the birth of the SDP… Waters characterizes his protagonists with great clarity'

* The Arts Desk *

'Steve Waters sharply characterises each member of the gang and allows them a turn in the spotlight… admirably brings to life a key moment in postwar politics'

* Guardian *

'A smart take on the Gang of Four… political drama of intellectual heft topped with a deliciously nimble-footed humour'

* Evening Standard *

'Funny, serious, timely… the glory of this surprisingly moving play is that it is no cynically hopeless Thick Of It. It does not despise politicians. It gives each of this ill-assorted quartet credit for real faith and real decisions'

* TheatreCat *

'Intelligent and timely… fascinating contemporary parallels abound'

* The Stage *

'What starts as a thought-experiment evolves into a compelling political debate about the heart and soul of the British left… it's all so bloody brilliant. Smart, slick, sophisticated, and steeped in political history with a refreshing lack of grandeur'
