"Mark Oxtoby is the clear stand out as former forger-gone-straight Dave Hegarty, bringing charisma, comic timing and a level of believability"
~ EXPOSED MAGAZINE (Picture You Dead)"Mark Oxtoby turns in a charismatic performance as the gifted rogue Hegarty"
~ THE SCOTSMAN (Picture You Dead)"The talented cast deliver commendable performances, with an outstanding performance from Mark Oxtoby, embodying the likeable but somewhat devious character of the artist Dave Hegarty."
~ THEATRE SOUTH EAST (Picture You Dead)"...master art-forger Dave Hegarty, expertly played by Mark Oxtoby with tasteful comedy, pace and believability"
~ THE BATH REVIEW (Picture You Dead)"The cast shine on stage, but for me the standout performance was by Mark Oxtoby who plays the role of Dave Hegarty, the art forger, who keeps you guessing until the very end whose side he is on."
~ THE CORNISH POST (Picture You Dead)"The performance you will talk about upon leaving the theatre comes from Mark Oxtoby with his inappropriately delightful take on Lecter. Though his stage time is more limited than you would like, every appearance from him delivers an absolute feast, with note-perfect comedy, acting and vocals once again demonstrating the true star Oxtoby is."
~ ALL THAT DAZZLES (Silence!)"Dr Lecter portrayed in absolute perfection by Mark Oxtoby. He was the flawless embodiment of pure insanity and evil."
~ STAGE TO PAGE (Silence!)"Mark Oxtoby has the crazed, bulging eyes and viperish lip-flutter of Hopkins as Lecter, his voice slowing at the end of lines as if prowling."
~ THE GUARDIAN (Silence!)"...it’s Oxtoby’s Lecter who steals the show"
~ LONDON THEATRE1 (Silence!)"Gattelli (Christopher/Director) also has a magnificent performer in the form of Mark Oxtoby playing Lecter – seemingly never blinking while on stage, Oxtoby's powerhouse vocals and comedic instincts are right on the money"
~ WHATSONSTAGE (Silence!)
