Previous praise for Freddy Syborn's plays:

"A commanding and unexpected piece from a truly gifted young theatremaker. It takes on a tricky subject and invests it with not just living, breathing humanity, but also an innate sense of the inexplicable contradictions people represent."
THE SCOTSMAN

"One of the stars of this year's fringe."
THE INDEPENDENT

"A young writer with a reaching, intelligent, starfishy kind of mind."
EXEUNT MAGAZINE

"One of the most exciting and exhilarating pieces of new theatre at the Fringe..."
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

"Unwavering virtuosity... magnificent, heart-felt and poetic confessions leave you reeling from such uninhibited honesty."

For Crypted, by Syborn, starring Harriet Green:

"Harriet Green, in a bold but utterly fitting piece of cross-gender casting, gives a captivating performance as Alan Turing, her eyes searching the margins of the room as if constantly, sadly searching for all that he has lost. The play is written with razor-sharp insight, its overarching meditation on truth and honesty in the face of the laws of man and nature executed with resonant, touching coherence by the talented ensemble cast. Those seeking an unheralded gem in one of the Fringe's smaller venues this year will find little more satisfying."
THE SCOTSMAN

For The Love Story, by Syborn, starring Patrick Walshe Macbride:

"Syborn's play is an extended riff on the concept of storytelling and the use of language to fabricate a world of emotions. And by God it's beautifully done. He takes as his inspiration the Keatsian concept of negative capability the "state of not-knowing" and in particular, how this concept is used in therapy, so the therapist approaches each session with an open mind, ready to hear the client's story and make prejudgements about how the story will end. But more than this: the idea is that the story itself doesn't matter so much, it's the pure act of exchanging information that is the healing process. So Syborn takes this notion and applies it to a love story: a highly intellectual, postmodern, knowing love story, but a love story all the same."
THE SCOTSMAN
