Page 5 Reviews Snatched (audio CD)A great narrator can enliven a mediocre story, which is the case with SNATCHED! Even a listener with a seasoned ear for British regional accents must be impressed with Toby Longworth's ability to create unique individuals using only his voice. As the book follows a circus troupe through nineteenth-century England, Longworth carries the listener along with the adventures of Daniel, born in the lion's cage, who gets caught up in plots and intrigue involving kidnapping, arson, and betrayal. The story could be a lesser chapter in a Dickens novel, but this narrator elevates it to a suspenseful tale with vocal nuance and a high sense of drama.(Audiofile Magazine) Matter (Iain M Banks)'You can, if you must, draw clever comparisons between the conflicts in Matter and what's happening in Iraq. Or you can just sit back and listen to Toby Longworth's tongue-in-cheek reading of a very funny book'Daily Express He was superb and hit the right notes exactly. Charming to work with, very accommodating and helpful, great pace and got the crowd going.Club Mirror Awards, Nov 08 Judge Dredd bows out of audio in fine style. Solo is the last, for the present at least, in Big Finish's series of 2000AD-related audio dramas. It's a real shame - the range deserved to do a lot better. Their writing was top quality and the performances were excellent, especially leads Toby Longworth as Dredd and Simon Pegg as Johnny Alpha.BBC (cult television)The Dreaming Void - Peter F HamiltonThe audio CD is the first of Peter's books to be released in this format (at least in the UK). It's also the first time I've listened to an audio book properly, although I have heard some sections of other in the past. Toby Longworth does an incredible job with the reading, pitching it just right to keep it interesting and giving the characters all individual voices and personalities. It really is a great way to enjoy The Dreaming Void on the move - in fact it's a great way to enjoy it anywhere.Play.comThunder from Fenris (audiobook)For those who dont know (as I note, theres been some confusion over this in some quarters), Thunder from Fenris is a totally brand new AUDIO BOOK from the Black Library about the savage Space Wolves. Its an original, stand-alone, all-new tale with our favourite sons of Fenris doing battle against zombies. Yes, you heard it folks, zombies. Performed by the excellent Tobey Longworth (of Heart of Rage fame, amongst a host of other things non-BL), some of the Space Wolf voices are so great theyll have you grabbing your frost-blade and furs, and stepping out into the ciy tundra.www.nickkyme.com"Toby Longworth is an undiscovered jewel..funny, funny,funny." - Rob BrydonHere Come The JudgeGreat news from Big Finish! They returned in October to the world of Judge Dredd with 4 new adventures. Toby Longworth returns as Judge Dredd (as if anyone else could do a better job!) and Dr Who alumni Louise Jameson will feature in the fourth adventure as Judge Anderson!www.nebulouscity.comHeart of Rage (audiobook)The story is read by Toby Longworth and directed by Lisa Bowerman, and I do think they manage to do a better job than their counterparts on Slayer of the Storm God - then again, Big Finish have a stronger background in SF than in fantasy. Toby's voice work is excellent: clear, emotive without ever becoming overexcited, and diverse enough to voice a wide range of characters convincingly.www.ferretbrain.com2000ADThe final release in the 2000 AD series was a Judge Dredd play entitled Solo by Jonathan Clements, notable for star Toby Longworth voicing every single part through a combination of his own vocal dexterity and special effects.http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/Big_Finish_Productions"A terrific natural comedian" - Bill Bailey'One of the Country's finest comedic impressionists and comic actors. Recently he's appeared in Nighty Night for BBC2 has a role in the upcoming series of Extras Provided a couple of voices for Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace. And has list of radio appearances so long that youll have to Google him to get them!'www.thecomedyhub.co.ukRaven's Flight (audiobook)Toby Longworth once again resumes his narrative duties... to give another great performance. Im running out of great things to say about Longworths work with the Black Library. Quite simply, heres a guy who can make you believe that youre listening to a whole group of people performing rather than just one.www.graemesfantasybookreview.com Bath Fringe FestivalWe could then sit back and relax with the brilliant Toby Longworth. His was an act of pure improvisation, answering or sometimes not questions posed by the audience. Assured and engaging, his act was a mix of terrible jokes well told and surreal flights of fantasy, as he ad-libbed fluidly from an impersonation of a remote-controlled Gordon Brown to the idea of Bath MP Don Foster as a cocaine smuggler. Marvellous.Jackie Chappell - www.thisisbath.co.uk

Reviews

cdsreviews www.comedy.co.ukThis brilliant spin on Stepford Wives is an irresistibly twisted tale of ordinary men, women, and their dogs. An absurdly talented comic cast bring you spine-chilling, rib-tickling, curtain-twitching delights. There's something rotten in the cul-de-sac. And you know it! Cul-De-Sac is the first play to emerge from the Comedians Theatre Company new writing project Itch: A Scratch Event. Written by Matthew Osborn, directed by Maggie Inchley and starring Alan Francis, Toby Longworth and Mike Hayley, the Itch team invite you into the dark, tweeting suburban underworld... 'Comedians doing simply exactly what they do best, making people laugh'West End WhingersNothing to do with Roman Polanskis film of the same name, but plucked by the Whingers from the telephone directory-sized Fringe brochure just because we felt it sounded very us.Billed as this brilliant spin on Stepford Wives is an irresistibly twisted tale of ordinary men, women, and their dogs, happily Matthew Osborns Cul-De-Sac proved to be thus.The less you know about the goings on in this dark, tweeting suburban underworld the more youll enjoy it. Without giving too much away it involves trimmed hedges, garden gnomes, barbecues, an ear infection, a very sinister neighbour and a dead dog (cue Ahhhhs from some of the audience). Imagine what might have happened if Terry and June had grown up in Psychoville.The cast, Alan Francis, Toby Longworth and Mike Hayley are all excellent. Mr Hayley, who is taking time out from the terrific Journeys End at The Duke of Yorks Theatre to appear gives a brilliantly convincing, understated performance.But most importantly theres plenty of laughs and provided probably the funniest (and surreal) line weve heard on the Fringe so far. Out of context it wouldnt make much sense and we would hate to spoil it anyway.This is apparently the first play to emerge from the Comedians Theatre Company new writing project Itch: A Scratch Event. We will be watching their progress keenly.We predict this may turn up at the Soho Theatre. Look out for it.Right up the Whingers own peculiarly twisted cul-de-sacs.ChortleThe sinister and depraved goings-on behind the polite conformity of the suburbs has long been an inspiration for writers. Now stand-up Matthew Osborn has contributed his two penn'orth to the genre with this sinister and funny, if slightly limited, play for the Comedians Theatre Company.If the housewives are desperate, Cul-De-Sac shows what the husbands are up to. Tim is a new arrival to the Close from the urban jungle, seeking a simpler life in a place where everybody knows your name and crime is low.But from his very first conversation over the garden fence with neighbour Nigel, it soon becomes clear that the Cul-De-Sac is run like Daily Mail Island its a place where for the sake of safety and comfort, everyone must be compliant with the most petty of social conventions (who parks cars on the road?) while the emphasis is very much on keeping out the wrong sort: to wit Poles, Muslims and deviants. The allegory isnt too subtle, as fear, however unjustified, leads to tyranny. Everyones so afraid of whats outside their world to realise that the threat really comes from within.This message is played out over a series of increasingly surreal comedy sketches in which Tim an everyman gracefully played by comedian Alan Francis gradually becomes absorbed into the Borg-like hive of the Cul-De-Sac. Meanwhile Nigel (the very watchable Mike Hayley) initially mild-mannered, becomes an increasingly violent and even sexual being. The blame for this lies at the door of local GP Dr Cole, an intense raging sociopath, a role that allows the menacing Toby Longworth to grandstand his inner beast. But the most important character is never seen, the community Casanova Tony Devereux, who casts a long shadow over what happens in this tight neighbourhood.Osborns script is as crisp and polished as you might expect if you know his stand-up, and delivered accordingly, with clarity, precision and a fine sense of how each line should be timed. The action could be speeded up toward the end of Act Two, once its been established whats going on, but otherwise builds nicely.Theres also a disconcertingly polite atmosphere over the entire play, similar to that of The Prisoner TV series, as at least one of the Cul-De-Sacs inhabitants realises that theres only one way out.www.edinburgh-festivals.comIf GEORGE Orwell had been around to write an episode of Terry And June, he might well have turned in something like this three-hander by Matthew Osborn.Or what starts out as a front-lawn comedy of manners - very bourgeois, very buttoned-up, very English - becomes a kind of Nineteen Eighty-Four with laughs. The deeper we get into the play, the more we realise the repressions, neuroses and reactionary politics of the three middle-aged neighbours living in their faux-Georgian cul-de-sac are a product not just of their emotionally damaging public school education, but of a totalitarian regime in microcosm.So if you can imagine seeing the funny side of a boot stamping on a human face forever, this is what Osborn pulls off. In this Comedians Theatre Company production, Alan Francis plays a Volvo-driving dog-owner with a teenage daughter en route to Oxbridge. He's new to the close - the previous family left in mysterious circumstances - which means Mike Hayley's neighbour Nigel has to fill him in on all the goings-on. Meanwhile, Toby Longworth's Dr Cole is more interested in his golf swing than his patients; happy as long as the cul-de-sac's values are being upheld.At first, in this spin on The Stepford Wives, the joke is about the men's stiff-upper-lip inability to show emotion except when it blurts out in xenophobic or homophobic remarks. The three actors hit the balance between being both clubbable and detached, showing a precise feel for Osborn's comic rhythms. But through the unseen figure of Tony Devereux, whose tyrannous hold over the close is worthy of Orwell's Big Brother, the play pushes beyond the familiar bourgeois satire to become a commentary on state control.Behind the laughs is a metaphor for the way dictatorial regimes hold power not simply through brute force but through internalised oppression, self-censorship and social control of their people.The piece could push further in this direction, and the scene transitions could be speedier in Maggie Inchley's production, but as absurdist comedies go, this is more thoughtful than most.
