David Williamson's The Removalists

"Presented with the original text in all its political incorrectness, The Removalists was shocking, raw, funny but ultimately, a sad indictment of Australian culture that still rings true today."
Maria Noakes, Perth Now

"McNeill’s mastery of one of the most repellent roles in modern Australian theatre is absolute... Perth Theatre Company’s production of the David Williamson play is a deserving send-off for the Playhouse before the curtains go down on the venue next year."
David Cohen, The Post

 

"Sergeant Simmonds is the driving force, portrayed by Greg McNeill with a brooding irony that built as the play went on. With excellent comic timing, he moved swiftly from ebullience to depressive anger"
John Kinsella, The Australian

  "...a blackly humorous encounter ...a great opportunity to revisit an early work by a talented Australian playwright."
Ali Taulbut, The West Australian



"Although it was written over 30 years ago, the piece remains relevant and still has the ability to make us laugh one moment and feel shocked the next."

"The dramatic tension continues to mount, only to be broken by comic Australian humour and then rebuilt as each of the characters try to manipulate their power over one another, culminating in a shocking conclusion."
Hayley Mayne, Australian Stage

 

"The true genius of the set design by Leon Krasenstein is in its multiplicity... It is captivating, dense, and at times claustrophobic."
 Gillian Clark, ArtsHub

"Director Mel Cantwell has taken quite a brave step in programming this work for modern audiences"
Ali Taulbut, The West Australian
