| "The best installation/ live art piece I have seen since Stans Cafés 'Of All The People In The World' Stunning and totally enthralling i am small THE WORLD IS BIG is certainly Accidental Collective’s breakthrough piece." Dee Ashworth, Gulbenkian Theatre Director |

“A quirky and charming oddment of theatre.”
Tom Wilton, artsdepot Education Officer
“I enjoyed Postscript. It felt immediate and vital. I really liked the language of the piece, the lights going on and off, and the performers constantly revolving between tables. I liked the contrast between sections which had snatches of narrative, and the sections which were more raw, where the action had been pared down into nothing more than a disconnected emotion like a laugh, or a scream. I liked the disjuncture between the formal set-up (the evening dress, the lack of actual interaction with the audience) and the informality (the breakdown of performer – audience relationship.” Sue Jones, Whitstable Biennale Director |

| What people said about InBetween… | “InBetween was fringe theatre at its best. The performance was the highlight of the Canterbury Festival Fringe: engaging, thought provoking and devilishly funny. InBetween is another impressive performance from Accidental Collective, Kent's own quick-thinking-fast-talking pioneers of the theatre of the unexpected." Richard Pollot, Canterbury Festival |

| What people said about Pebbles to the Pier… | “Pebbles to the Pier continued Accidental Collective's interest in blending personal and local histories with contemporary performance styles. Capitalising skilfully on the beach location, the company produced an enchanting performance eminently suited to the Festival setting.” Cathy Westbrook, Performance Network Kent |
| What people said about The Watching Game… | “…it definitely makes you question all the moments in your life that may or may not being watched. The reaction in the street was also very amusing, considering the amount of interest a woman sitting in a shop window attracted, someone literally walked into me…” Ozaan Enkan, audience member
“…it makes people smile! That has to be a good thing.” Debbie, Revivals shop owner “…it was also great to see the different expressions on passers by.” Ann Stevenson, audience member |
| What people said about Collect Call… |
“My heart was pounding like it only ever does when I think I'm about to die (getting knocked off my bike in heavy traffic, having to do an emergency stop on the motorway, that sort of thing) and I was quite stunned for several moments afterwards.” Paul Hurley, audience member (Cardiff)
“It reminded me that acting is a wonderful thing to be involved in as it can enliven any situation - but as the caller got more panicked about my lack of breathing and words - it became quite disturbing - to think that someone was getting that worked up about my absence – in fact so much so that I had to delete the message - even though it had not finished.” Lisa Payne, audience member (Harrow) “Afterwards I felt as though I had been part of something worthwhile. On the Monday morning I was in my office and found voicemail with this voice telling me they were missing me, thinking about me, that I was in their thoughts. I recognised the voice as the caller of the previous evening.” Mark Goggins, audience member (Preston) “It wasn't till the next day when I got your feedback form that I remembered what I had signed up for. I've always liked prank calls, the way they make the mind race, searching for who might be thinking of you; whether they chose you at random or not. Thank you.” Jen Mitas (London) “…it took a few minutes before it clicked that this was a 'performance,' not some guy who actually needed help. It was strangely intimate but also remote - disembodied voices talking across 3000+ miles of water and wire.” Valerie Lucas, audience member (Ohio) “I was surprised, disturbed, touched… Your answer phone message affected me deeply... was so personal... was just the message I want to receive... was a message of want... of love... it made me cry... because of my own state of mind at the moment.” Ele Forsyth, audience member (Canterbury) |
