Play Reviews
“A clever production with tons of heart, Sunshine Express is another triumph for Globus Theatre and another example of Sarah Quick’s incredible writing.”
“The fun quickly begins with four actors playing 30 characters who become involved in lemon smuggling, border crossings, Cracker Barrel breakfast, bingo, happy hour and, of course, a visit to Walmart. ”
“A hilarious and thoughtful comedy”
“Sunshine Express is the ultimate road trip – four actors play 30 roles in a story about a group of ‘mature’ travellers whooping it up on a coach trip to Florida.”
