“Bad Boy is stark and striking – a look into a well of darkness, a scourge on society. I can’t praise more highly what Cornelius, Dee and Wilks have achieved. It gets down to the way Wilks carries herself. She is fierce, determined and desperate.”

“Dee, Cornelius, Wilks, Harper, Hector and Ryall make extraordinary theatre. Bad Boy is confronting and frightening to watch. Not because of its content – again, we can see this in the news every day – but because we laugh with Will. ”
