Superb cast!, Engaging, Hilarious, Edgy, Clever

See it if you want to see hysterical debating forums. Trying to achieve agreement in a group with very different POV on the same issue. So relevant!

Don't see it if you don’t like plays with debates, forums, discussions and/or are topical

Great acting, Funny, Delightful, Clever

See it if you're looking for a clever, funny play about vaccine mandates. Good performances all around.

Don't see it if you prefer plays with lots of actions. The entire play takes place in a class room and the action is all in the dialogues.

Great acting, Funny, Ambitious, Clever, Absorbing

See it if you would like a razor sharp dismantling of online debate culture and how it is spilling into real life and causing dangerous impacts.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy satirical views on current debates that makes fund of strong beliefs on different sides of the political spectrum.

The London Evening Standard

"This remains a needle-sharp comedy that packs a smart and timely punch."

Time Out London
September 24th, 2022

"‘Eureka Day’ is just lacking a bit of the heft and muscle it needs to really storm this stage."

The Telegraph (UK)
September 24th, 2022

"The evening moves from primary colour, almost crayon-crude, mirth in the first half to something more subtly, and emotionally, shaded in the second, the dramatic stakes for those involved don’t carry quite the requisite heft."

" 'Eureka Day' is a bracing corrective to the idea that you can only discuss serious issues with a straight face."

London Theatre
September 29th, 2022

"The kind of utopian consensus proposed by the 'Eureka Day' board now feels like a pipe dream. At least we can all agree that the Old Vic is supplying a brilliantly funny and cleverly thought-provoking response."

The Stage (UK)
September 24th, 2022

"In Katy Rudd’s highly coloured production, it’s as hollow as the echo chambers it lampoons, its characters cartoonish and its satire of liberal pieties unrevealing, if sporadically entertaining."
