Winner of the Audience’s Choice Award, Prague Fringe Festival 2019
“My favourite theatre experience of the year”
Matthew Crow, Independent on Sunday
***** “Fun in the Oven takes hold of our emotions, making us laugh, cry and in awe of their slick physically and strong ensemble. The most hard-hitting moments were always cleverly uplifted with comedy, and superbly executed.”
Theatre Box Review
“an original take on a little-known aspect of wartime women’s intrinsic importance, and the humorous dialogue, well-choreographed movement and rousing singing make for enjoyable and enlightening entertainment.”
Spy in the Stalls
“Three hugely versatile actors held us spellbound”
Julia Wright, Teesdale Mercury
"'Canary' sheds light on some munitions workers, many of whom have been overlooked or deliberately airburshed. This is a show that pulls no punches yet is witty, warm and topical. How Fun in the Oven inject humour into such a dark topic is a revelation."
Audience Member at Interplay
“Hilarious, heartbreaking, brilliant”
Audience member at Northern Stage
“A rarely seen perspective of a world defining time”
Audience member at The Witham
FEEDBACK FROM WORK IN PROGRESS SHOWINGS OF CANARY in 2015 & 2016:
“Brilliant and compelling mix of humour with the very real and harrowing experiences of these woman”
Audience member at LIVE Theatre
“They clearly take inspiration from 1927, Kill The Beast and Les Enfants Terribles, but in their mixing of gruesome comedy, movement and a real social message, their work is very promising”
