Críticas:

The combination of Amanda Whittington - a writer with an uncommon knack for intelligent, accessible drama - and the gladiatorial arena of sequins and tailcoats is a match made in ballroom heaven... an eminently warm-hearted play that should exponentially increase Whittington's popularity. Which is no mean feat given how popular she is already. --Guardian

This new play will delight anyone who is glued to Strictly Come Dancing each year... This bittersweet story is a joy from start to finish... Amanda Whittington has been described by The Guardian as Britain's most consistently popular female dramatist. Kiss Me Quickstep can only enhance her reputation. --The Stage

Clever and witty... Amanda Whittington uses the setting of the ballroom competition to explore the underlying issues a modern day couple faces in British society. Financial worries, domineering parents, addiction and the value of life are all scrutinised in this compelling and highly relevant play. --reviewshub

Reseña del editor:

Dazzling and sequin-studded, Kiss Me Quickstep is a play about the world of ballroom dance, taking us behind the fixed smiles and fake tan to look at the real lives of those for whom ballroom dancing is everything. Justin and Jodie have finally made it to the national ballroom-dancing championships in Blackpool - via the motorway hard shoulder. Luka's come all the way from Russia. Nancy's been training for this since she was three. Lee and Samantha arrive on a wave of success. But what if your dance-floor dreams are turning into a nightmare? How do you stop dancing to other people's tunes? What can you do if your partner's secret could cost you the crown? And, even when the whole world's at your feet, it only takes one false step...Amanda Whittington's Kiss Me Quickstep premiered at New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, in 2016, in a co-production between the New Vic and Oldham Coliseum Theatre.
