“..Louise Fischer keeps an almost rolling scene-change pace with her actors barely slowing down ajot – it’s almost too hard to keep up! With Sorkin you want it fast and tight and fans of his workwill not be disappointed, newcomers are in for a treat and those just after a terrific night out away from the television should book this into their schedules. After all, what is life without a little exploration?”

“Director Louise Fischer has delivered a beautifully designed production that’s surprisinglylight on its feet, given its nineteen-strong cast.”

“The best part of this production is the ensemble … An evening where art explains, and argues about, science with you. And leaves you excited about it to boot.” http://sydney.concreteplayground.com.au/event/26258/the-farnsworth-invention.htm
