‘Exuberant fun… Brilliant Botticelli is never boring’ | Evening Standard

‘Well crafted and finely tuned’ | Whatsonstage

WHAT AUDIENCES ARE SAYING

Saw #HTBotticelli last night - What a bloody show. It burnt the eyebrows right off my face. In a good way.

Jordan Tannahill’s #BotticelliInTheFire @Hamps_Theatre is radically irreverent, horrifyingly pertinent, and bloody funny. A queer extravaganza and a modern classic in the making.

#HTBoticelli was thoroughly entertaining. A lavish and provocative play on desire and sacrifice. Head over to @Hamps_Theatre to catch this exciting new play!

.@Hamps_Theatre's hot-blooded production 'Botticelli in the Fire' runs to 23 Nov. Jordan Tannahill’s moving play about the persecution of sodomites in Renaissance Florence is a timely parable for the rise of populism. Tickets: https://t.co/Yakihq7fY5 #HTBotticelli Via @videofag

Just been to see the European premiere of ‘Botticelli in the Fire’ by Jordan Tannahill at Hampstead Theatre. A fascinating and engaging play, masterfully acted on a super set design, full of humour and devastating… https://t.co/tpqdwtrpRe

Saw ‘BOTTICELLI IN THE FIRE’ last night, Jordan Tannahill's bold + witty new play. After scene stealing cameos in Colette + Bohemian Rhapsody, you yearned for more Dickie Beau. You get it here. An astounding + deep performance that dazzles throughout this queer Renaissance remix. pic.twitter.com/JegH3JRl7K

People of north London and it’s surrounding villages. Get your butts to @Hamps_Theatre’s BOTICELLI IN THE FIRE by the great playwright Jordan Tannahill. It’s lusty; artful; political; queer; medieval & new. There’s pyro, porn and paint. Porno for pyros? @DickieBeau excels.
