'I very much liked Mark Winstanley’s sad Graham Whittaker. He really made us believe the helplessness and Graham’s fear of being plunged even deeper into the well of loneliness.'

Michael Hasted - Arts Talk Magazine - reviewing Talking Heads by Alan Bennett

'Mark stands out in his performance of Eugene, an extravagant Fashion designer. When performing this (improvised) role he owns the stage and attracts a large crowd to the set. He has outstanding energy and makes his character witty and believable. A true entertainer.'  Fleur Herrewijn - Performance Manager, Madame Tussaud.

'Good old-fashioned, tongue-in-cheek-humour. If Hitchcock was attending he would have been in stitches.' Benjamin Roberts - Holland Times
