Armed Robbery and Suicidal Intent

Thought-provoking. Feels very much like a work in progress, a bit disjointed but the first half dialogue and acting was great.

I loved this. Superbly acted, pacy and full of surprises. It leaned into dark humour and took audiences a long way in the course of a short play.

Amazing show! Loved the fast paced dialogue and the way the actors bounced off each other. It approached some important themes and handled uncomfortable emotions well.

A concise and fast-paced script which was brought to life by a troupe of very talented, young actors.

Thought-provoking yet hilarious, I would love to see 'Armed Robbery and Suicidal Intent' be expanded into something bigger. I want more!

This was an interesting show with talented actors and explored important themes of class and poverty with some unexpected twists. Although I feel like it was a work in progress show, as the ending was a bit abrupt and confusing.

Armed Robbery and Suicidal Intent starts with a robber breaking into a property lived in by a suicidal woman. There is both comedy and drama in this intriguing set up, but the two following scenes in the robber's home with her sister, and back to the original house don't work as well. With a 35-minute running time, this watchable show feels like a work-in-progress with an abrupt ending,

We were very impressed with this show. The acting was amazing and an unexpected storyline.

This was a very short play. I didn't see the pint of it, it was not very credible at all.

Wow wow WOW! Every single element of this show is absolutely incredible and left me both howling with laughter and drying my eyes after shedding a tear - a masterpiece in fluctuating the emotions. The casts performances were utterly beautiful: the clear and well established relationships matched with such differing physical attributes and quick witted humor made for an immensely, immersive and engaging piece of theatre. Exceptional! This company has an amazing future ahead of them and I can’t wait to see what they do next! If it’s anything to go by this show, the industry is in for some real assets of creatives!

Wow - blown away by this. Acting, writing, directing and staging were exceptional. Several people told me to see this - definitely this year's must-see!

The story is gripping, perfectly balancing humour and tension, and it’s all brought to life through brilliant direction that keeps you hooked.

The performances were outstanding, with all three actresses delivering memorable performances. Ines Sawday, in particular, stood out with her captivating portrayal, bringing depth and impeccable timing to her role. The chemistry among the cast was palpable, making it a joy to watch.

A 30-minute thought-provoking dark comedy, delivered to perfection by a small cast of female actors. The sarcasm in the writing highlighted the crushing unfairness of life, made me laugh and reflect even after the show was over. A must-see, featuring Starkey's well-written script and exceptional performances by Sawday, Lawton, and Upton. Well done The Archive Theatre Co!

Really entertaining show despite the subject matter. Good acting, funny, highly recommend

Excellent performance which took you through an emotional rollercoaster that connected with the audience. From the performance from Agnes that showed the raw emotion Manni as the young teenager who is trying to better herself but from a challenging family dynamics but shows her good heart. Dixie as the big sister connected to the audience in a numerous way with some fantastic humour. All three characters connected and told the story of hard hitting subject matter with sensitivity. Fantastic

Gritty, dark and fabulous performances, gripping and Immersive from the start. These three young actors covered the difficult subject of suicide well, you really felt for the characters and their experiences. If you want to watch a serious original drama this is really worth a watch. The small venue is perfect. Worthy of 5 Stars.

I found this to be an incredibly immersive & engrossing piece of theatre. Perfectly balanced with gut-wrenching intensity and wonderfully delivered comedy. It is beautifully written and the clever staging, along with the drop dead awesome performances from three rising stars will stay with you long after the performance ends. Congratulations! Don’t miss this!

Stunning performance from all 3 actresses! Loved the comedy mixed with the tragedy, wanted there to be more!

Really enjoyed this story. Great performances too. :)

Loved watching this. I was completely engaged throughout and the performers were superb!

Bleak but wryly funny, this three-person performance is affecting and painfully honest. The premise is excellent and the actors deliver on it very well, capturing the moment of two worlds colliding in an unlikely but authentic-feeling way. The themes are handled with grace and care, but the play doesn't shy away from the horror of what's happening. It pulls off a difficult balancing act with aplomb. 5/5 stars.
