Splice gets rave reviews for SUS

SUS by Barrie Keefe has just ended a critically-acclaimed run at the Bridewell Island in Bristol.

With five stars in Venue and four stars in Metro, this disturbing account of police racism set on the 1979 election night is still powerfully relevant today.

"What works best here is the oppresive nostalgia, a reminder of how bad things were and how polarised communities were, for all Thatcher's talk of bringing harmony," wrote Elisabeth Mahony in The Guardian.

"Robert Gwilym's performance is wince-makingly good as Karn."
