The Scotsman
“A rambunctious performance, gleefully presenting this well known tale as a black comedy with farcical elements and just a touch of Laurel and Hardy. Rob Crouch (Burke) and Jonathan Clarkson (Hare) have a wonderful camaraderie ... a fun take on Edinburgh's dark history.”

Hairline
“The quality of this pair is apparent from the off ... can only be described as superb, ... incredibly funny, which makes the more grisly bits worse to watch, it is rare to see this level of violence being portrayed so well without being grossly graphic. This isn’t to say that Burke & Hare isn’t graphic, as the occasional gasps from the audience show."

"Hilarious...a well produced humorous play with a touch of local history for visitors"

Three Weeks
"Crouch and Clarkson work well together as the scheming couple, providing laughs with their clumsy and drunken endeavours...As the story develops and the pair's methods become even more grisly, laughter is subdued and replaced by horror."

Time Out (London)
"There is plenty of fine comic writing her, ably and swiftly performed by Rob Crouch and Jonathan Clarkson as B and H respectively. The actors are reprising roles they took in the play's premiere in Edinburgh last year, which is in fact, home of the original murders. Gemma Sessions' revival is certainly accomplished."
