Reviews
of the 2005 production of Throwing Stones
“Mid-life
male photographer meets young, nubile female student-cum-artistic muse
- so far it’s old hat. But photographer turned playwright Christopher
John Ball and co-writer Dean Sipling, whose background is film and television,
bring the pairing into a thoroughly contemporary world of intercepted
emails, sinister insinuation and sharp retorts. Their ‘guilty
until proved innocent’ plot ... is thoroughly watchable and believable
- perhaps as a result of Ball’s professional insights and DS Dom
Lucas’ services as police advisor to the production.” Barbara
Lewis – The Stage
“Throwing
Stones has just opened at the Greenwich Playhouse and it enters the
dark and perverse world of child pornography in a studied and highly
creative way. Indeed, it comes close to being a totally absorbing evaluation
of what some might believe is true art while others might cringe in
horror at the sight of what they see is an indecent image.....Anton
Krause’s direction is impeccable; Helen Chadney, Christopher Vian-Smith,
Shaun Stone and Geraldine Garner generate performances which are outstanding
while Laura Murphy exudes sex from every pore.” Roy Atterbury

"This
is fringe theatre at its best, experimental, vaguely existential"
- Clifford Thurlow - The New Nude Magazine.
"The
writers... bravely tackle this controversial subject to produce a challenging
and thought-provoking modern drama." - Bromley Times
