REVIEWS:
TUMBLETOTS
Cassowary Crossing
David Astle
‘A fan of Kate Toon, I lapped up Tumbletots, a kinder-gym meeting of two contrasting Mummies, played by Renee Palmer (‘My son said flambe yesterday’) and Suzie Thomas (‘Your son certainly looks”robust.’). I can see how Kate resists a false climax or ribbon-bow conclusion, opting instead for the spirit of the encounter'

‘This one made my night. Great script by Kate Toon; hilarious performances by Matt Butcher, Simon Dooley and most especially Deborah Peebles. Unhappy English tourists are in full whingeing-Pom mode when local boy Bazza decides to give them a friendly welcome. A funny, clever and entertaining clash of cultural stereotypes.’
Kate has a unique gift of blending a very modern sense of satire with hilarious and razor-sharp dialogue. It was thrilling to see our young audience respond so strongly to a new playwright. She writes particularly well for women and this talent alone is worth much cultivation. I am looking forward to exploring more of her work with my company in the future. In the meantime, I heartily endorse her application for a development exchange in New York City. She has a wonderful and theatrical gift for story-telling and deserves every chance to take her work to the highest level.’
