Review Maxwell Golden, excellent performance - great energy and immediate engagement.   The show was presented in multiple scenes, clearly defined characters, it was well presented, and fast paced.  Maxwell's move between characters is slick and easy and presents believable portrayals of all sorts of people we have all come across ... capturing and caricaturing idiosyncratic moves, demeanour and patterns of speech.  This show is coming in the Autumn and with a young audience will be involved and I am sure it will work well.   ArtERY looks forward to welcoming Maxwell to East Yorkshire.

Why is the work suitable or not suitable / ready for rural touring ?	Ready to tour and of high quality.
Why would you book them ?  or  Why wouldn’t you book them ?	To present high quality work for young people and a new genre, hip hop theatre.
Why would it be worth pursuing this company to consider work in the future? Or not  ?	Yes
