"I am so glad I came and I was so impressed by your acting and your writing. I particularly liked the way you preserved a narrative line throughout the evening, first inviting the audience into a cosy lecture and then leading them gradually, and always with comedy, into a darker world. Congratulations!"

Libby Purves

"This is marvellous, a real miniature drama crackling with comedy both dark and light, performed with all the bravura accuracy of a 21st century Joyce Grenfell "

Sue Hamlyn

"Brilliant! Every single word seemed to me the right word - beautifully written, impeccably observed, penetrating, witty - immaculately timed - very, very clever."

Clive Evans, Producer, Nice Pictures Ltd.

"An astonishingly satisfying and thought-provoking evening - very funny and surprisingly moving too. JUBILATE! is a triumph."

Mike Rowbottom, for The Henley Standard

"Nobody’s perfect in Anna’s world – except Anna herself. Anna spends her life dispensing her superconfident unqualified wisdom to her vicar-husband’s parishioners, and oh how they benefit from it!

They benefit to the point of adultery, domestic abuse and the threat of paedophilia because Anna is oblivious to everything except her own force of will.

Jubilate! is a scintillating one-woman show from Ros Adler. It packs a huge amount into its fifty minutes and she takes no prisoners.

Her vicar’s wife, Anna, starts with a gathering in the church hall for her weekly “Everything Explained” seminar. The humour is ladled on as her characters take shape. There’s a lusty predator, a disconnected housewife, a feisty sink estate mother and a lonely middle-aged daughter.

They’re all funny and tragic and have their worlds broken up by Anna’s unquestioning certainties. Ros Adler wrote this arresting piece and delivers it with a technical and emotional expertise which is breathtaking. A simple headband and cardigan changes her from a seductress of Fennella Fielding powers to a beaten down, addled single mother.

Jubilate! Is high class writing delivered with excellent acting."

The Scotsman

"This is a nicely balanced piece; a black comedy full of sharp observations and witty one-liners, with just the right amount of pathos"
