We Could Be Heroes - Reviews

Bridewell Theatre, Bride Lane, off Fleet Street, London EC4

'

'warm-hearted and perfectly executed.

Richard Lumsden has that Richard Curtis-like ability to recast old tropes in hilarious ways,

and to balance them with a poignancy that, if sentimental, is joyfully crowd-pleasing.

'Ziggy eat your Stardust –

Lumsden will be hero for more than one day!

THE world premiere of Richard Lumsden’s new play is set to wow London audiences.

It is an uplifting, feelgood comedy that propels its audience on a rollercoaster ride.

Highly entertaining and the various anecdotes are almost always accompanied by equally

brilliant songs, the lyrics of which are hysterical! 

The structure of the show is nothing short of brilliant. This was more than mere theatre –

it was a musical extravaganza!

It is, indeed, a tale of epic proportions and certainly one not to be missed!'

'A truly entertaining and uplifting show that

deserves to be seen by a wider audience.

Funny, touching, evocative, and ultimately thought provoking.

Adrian Mole meets the Glastonbury Festival.

Richard Lumsden is wonderful - with the ability to touch the hearts of those watching by

evoking such clear imagery that you can almost smell the atmosphere.

Not only a talented actor and writer, but also accomplished musician -

and I defy anyone not to feel in awe by the end. 
As the back of the programme says, ‘THIS ONE’S FOR ALL YOU DREAMERS’ and one

certainly does leave dreaming, but also with hope that dreams can come true, however old,

or young you happen to be in your heart'

'One sad life in two happy hours.
Richard Lumsden’s performance of his own script is inflected by comedy

and seriousness without becoming indulgent.
It’s apt this piece doesn’t achieve greatness. For it isn’t about greatness, but the

significance of the ordinary; an ordinary bloke’s experience, laughable or touching,

voyaging without self-pity through plenty of sadness, comedy and music. The

self-deprecating manner steers the piece round the wrecking rocks of midlife crisis drama.
And it remains quietly optimistic about life shorn of delusions of grandeur.  If it is, in a sense, about failure,

it’s a success in its own, individual terms'

'We Could Be Heroes (the title's from Bowie's song Heroes) couldn't work without expert music, and

Richard Lumsden is a gifted musician - on guitar, piano, mandolin, and as a singer.

Director Graham Gill keeps the action and pace tight.

Designer Gary Campbell works visual magic with his sets and costumes'
