Awards & Reviews
| NZ Review |
'Fabulous performances by Miranda Richardson as HH builds himself a time machine and eats out at Restaurant le Posh, just two of the stories about the brat-of-brats on this terrific production. Car journeys will never be the same!' -- Kati Nicholl EXPRESS 'These four stories are the best yet... The sound effects (including Beethoven's Fifth dragged into an electronic jive) are gloriously unpleasant, and the manic mixture of joy and cruelty in the reading has children hugging themselves in wicked glee. It may seem paradoxical that very good stories about a very bad child will keep your own bad children quiet, but mine listen in awestruck silence.' -- Amanda Craig THE INDEPENDENT |
