The Scotsman - Six of the Best Shows Finishing This Week
'It’s a slight but sensitive piece which is both neatly written and convincingly performed by its young actors with a good deal of insight. A promising debut. '
​
The Fringe Review - Recommended Show
'this is a production well worth seeking out for its sensitive handling of tragedy mixed with understated humour told in an original way'
​
The Edinburgh Reporter - ★★★★★
'50 Words is the kind of show that the Fringe should be all about. It’s not big and flashy, but it tells a story that we all need to hear. It’s skillfully written, beautifully acted, and at times it’s also very funny. I loved it; do go.'
​
The Student Newspaper - ‘Heart-wrenching and equally hopeful’ - ★★★★★
'50 Words presents a heart-wrenching and equally hopeful story. It is one that elates you and deflates you, then elates you once more as its characters struggle through a harsh reality, searching for a comforting mid-point: somewhere between reality and the kinder world of imagination. '
