REVIEWS FOR PUBLIC PROPERTY
“A dark Machiavellian comedy for the noughties…
sharp twists and comic flair…plenty of rising talent.”
The Independent on Sunday
“A ruthless burlesque on the terrifying hall of mirrors that the modern media has become…revelations and several switchbacks are achieved with flair [and] sweet human touches… [Public Property] apes the crassness of celebrity culture, but at its best, pleads for the lost souls whom that culture chews up and spits out.”

“Talent both in the writing and acting departments…clever…lively…fun.”
The Times
“Sharp and funny,…crackingly paced, [this] beautifully acted production grabs the audience’s attention and evokes considerable pathos…Jackson impresses as a writing talent to watch.”
Variety

Stephen Fry on Twitter
“Sam Peter Jackson's smart new three-hander...is a lively examination of how PRs manipulate the news behind the scenes, and of the perils of being famous. ”
Time Out
“It’s a testament to the breezy promise of the writing that [this] contribution doesn’t feel like it’s bolstering the evening so much as dovetailing neatly into its many incidental pleasures…This pacey production never lets up on basic enjoyability or loses the pulse of underlying emotional truth. Recommended.”
Daily Telegraph

Sunday Express
“Funny, clever and incredibly pertinent to our
celebrity-obsessed times.”
