‘One of the best things I have seen at the Fringe this year. Immersive and gripping right up to the end. I almost felt as if I had flown a mission by the time I came out.’
‘electrifying performance by Thomas Dennis. This needs to be added to your ‘not to be missed’ list.’
‘An absolute masterpiece! So emotional, so moving. Thomas Dennis is magnificent. That story needs to be told and to be seen! A harrowing journey. Thank you’
‘To be honest I wasn’t sure if this was going to be my thing but gave it a chance and so glad I did. Such a powerful show and @TheThomasDennis performance was remarkable!’
‘Wireless Operator is tense, and moving, and has some wonderful moments of humanity shining through.’
‘Wireless Operator is an important play – go see it. You won’t be disappointed.’
‘110% recommend, Thomas Dennis performance is outstanding with an incredible set design by Kit Line. Such an important message on veteran’s mental health, go see it!!’
‘Thought provoking, intense and emotional. This is Edinburgh Fringe at its best. Simply, a must see.’
‘Wireless Operator is an excellent production which should be on a ‘must see’ list at this year’s Fringe. It is based on the real experiences of a World War 2 Lancaster Bomber Wireless Operator. It captures the tension, danger and incredible stress which young airmen faced. As Bomber Command had a 45% mortality rate many knew they might not return alive.’
