"Brilliant portrayal...of Francis...enjoyed it very much..."

"This is a show that I warmed to as it progressed
until I was fully immersed.
Here is a chance to learn more about a major artist
of the twentieth century via a very talented actor." - ScotsGay

"Nobody who sees this show leaves untouched
even those who were Bacon’s friends."

"Astonishing written performitive skill!" - Syke On Stage MONA review
"A totally convincing Warhol!" - Philip Wyn Jones
The Secret Life of
Francis Bacon
“A wonderfully convincing Warhol. His Solanas is bitter and spiteful; his Francis Bacon is hilariously pompous. Although brief, Roost’s portrayal of the vulnerable, tormented Edie Sedgwick was one of the highlights of the one-man cast.” - Tamika Glouftsis Collage Adelaide
"A really strong actor performing a cleverly written play. I was in fact, in a state of cognitive dissonance for the entire performance – but maybe that’s how you are meant to feel when you have Warhol’s soul stripped bare in front of you." - Bob Cryer Hi-Fi Way The Pop Chronicals ****
