The Minutes is a Must-See

We’re thrilled by the response from our audiences! Local theatre-goer @annahopkinsward9 shared her thoughts on social media after seeing The Minutes:

I loved every minute of The Minutes. Thanks to Theatre Aezir for bringing this play to London!

This review echoes what so many audience members have been telling us. The Minutes is more than a play; it’s a raw, powerful look at the dynamics of power, silence, and the truths that lie just beneath the surface. Tracy Letts’ script tackles issues that feel all too relevant, and the incredible cast at Theatre Aezir brings every moment to life.

For those who haven’t yet experienced The Minutes, here are a few reasons why now is the time to get your tickets:

  • A Riveting Story: This play combines dark humor and intense drama, with twists that keep you guessing until the very end.
  • Standout Performances: Audiences are particularly raving about Mike Wisniowski’s powerful portrayal of Mr. Carp and Tyler Lionel Parr’s nuanced performance as Mr. Peel, although the play highlights all the members of this brilliant cast!
  • An Unforgettable Experience: The Minutes isn’t just entertainment; it’s an exploration of themes that will stay with you long after you leave the theater.

The Minutes runs for a limited time, and seats are filling up quickly. If you’re looking for a show that’s equal parts thought-provoking and entertaining, join us at Theatre Aezir for a night of theatre you won’t forget.
