For Fear & misery of the Third Reich:
“Hugo Trebels was superb as the teacher, he and Faye Maughan as his convincingly neurotic wife, terrified that their son was informing on them, and panicking about comments that the child might have overheard, before a rare comic twist”.

For On the ropes (Spaced 2014):
‘After this, I went to explore ‘On the Ropes’. The shouts and bells were a draw to audiences and there was a definite buzz around the space. It was a boxing ring in which two people were tackling an issue, a story – but it was up to us to choose the outcome. We were offered slips of paper (2 for £1) on which to circle what we wanted the characters to do next: everything from ‘make up’, to ‘do the worst possible thing.’ It was exhilarating and beautifully acted.’

‘On the Ropes / Fight or Fuck (Salon Collective) was my favourite; relationships played out in a boxing ring with the observers paying for changes of direction and specific outcomes, all brilliantly improvised.’

For Another hundred people:
“Hugo took on the task of performing Jason Robert Brown’s “Stars and the moon”, traditionally a female vocalist’s song. He managed to be very effective without changing the lyrics – not an easy task!”
