testimonials
"Danny is a phenomenon. Working with him has been one of the most exciting and vitalising creative experiences I’ve had in some time. He has such a wonderful knowledge of the craft, of the nuances of the Laban/Malmgren work and constructed the workshop in a way that didn’t water any of it down but still made it accessible and embodied. It’s work I can’t wait to do more of."

"Danny Ball is magnificent ... His control of voice and character, that mercurial ability to inhabit the multitude of personas Ari meets on his journey, gives the work its colour and variability. And his quiet moments of pain, the longing under his braggadocio, are articulated with skill and poignancy."
- The Guardian.
​
"Danny Ball is extraordinary as Ari ... He delivered the long monologue flawlessly."
- Limelight.

Holding the man
"But it’s the connection between Conroy and Ball that galvanisies every element of this production. They share an electric chemistry that breathes such persuasive life into Tim and John’s love for one another, it is the foundation upon which every success of this show is built."
- Timeout.
​
"Danny Ball never falters in his performance of the soft and anxious John. Their intimacy and love radiates throughout their performance leaving not a single dry eye in the audience."
- City Hub.
​
“Danny Ball is captivating as John ... there is an abundance of enjoyable theatricality surrounding Ball’s performance, but it is his commitment to a deeper honesty, that gives this event its soul."
- Suzy Goes See.
​
"Danny Ball’s portrayal of John is understated, extremely generous and moving … While their individual performances are outstanding, the connection between Conroy and Ball is what makes the production so successful ... Their chemistry is utterly vulnerable and believable."
- Theatre Thoughts.

"Danny Ball is marvellous as Tinker, deadpan but terrifying, full of ambiguity in his portrayal of pure evil."
