Praise for Christopher as Dionysus:

“Christopher Simpson gives a mesmeric performance as the charismatic, merciless Dionysus, whose followers surrender totally to his will.” Ireland on Sunday

“Morrison’s casting of Simpson was a superb move: he dominates the stage, physically and rhetorically, as indeed Dionysus is meant to do.” Sunday Tribune

“a glorious performance….his presence is stunning and completely captivates the audience.” Irish Daily Mail

Praise for Christopher as Sebastian Flyte:

“…Christopher Simpson’s combustible Sebastian, a dangerous mix of puppyish charm and volcanic petulance…Simpson brutally suggests the callousness with which Sebastian taunts Charles over his helpless love for him: there is a savage mockery about his Sebastian that only deepens the more dissolute he becomes. It is a pity Simpson is only on stage for the show’s first half: the production is a duller place when he isn’t in it.” The Telegraph

 “a splendidly louche performance from Christopher Simpson as the infantile, teddy-bear-dependent, alcoholic Sebastian, whose floppy-fringed resemblance to Blur bassist Alex James is probably coincidental, but instructive nevertheless. He provides, without question, the heart and soul of the production.” The Guardian

“Playing the damaged and doomed alcoholic Sebastian, Christopher Simpson elicits sympathy, despair, and love from other characters and the audience.” Daily Echo

“Christopher Simpson’s Sebastian shows a graphic descent from teddy hugging hedonist to unpredictable and unbearable alcoholic.” Yorkshire Post

“and the charming, teddy bear-toting alcoholic Sebastian (a stand-out performance from Christopher Simpson)…beautifully conveyed.” Cambridge News

Christopher Simpson’s Sebastian shows a graphic scent from teddy hugging hedonist to unpredictable and unbearable alcoholic.
