A selection of critiques and comments on performances
April in Paris
January 2024, Leicester Little Theatre
A masterclass of a two-hander production, with ample heart running through its core. Feeney effectively captures the subtle complexities of Al’s character. He delivers witty one-liners with excellent comic timing but is also expressive through his body language to portray Al’s anxiety and unease in novel situations. Feeney and Seddon perform brilliantly together. They bounce off each other’s energy throughout the play and are a joy to watch.
Matthew Bird, East Midlands Theatre
Seddon and Feeney’s versatility, transforms “April in Paris” from a mere play into a reflection of our lives and relationships. Leigh White’s skillful approach elicits outstanding performances from Seddon and Feeney.
What’s Good To Do
I felt Kat Seddon and Steve Feeney were wonderful together. They showed a real strong chemistry and the pipeline of tired from the grind couple to reigniting their love trajectory was both believable and honest. Both members of the cast had brilliant facial expressions, projection, and were always fabulously reactive. Kat and Steve were so in sync and both just played their characters to excellence.

Bouncers
January 2024, Leicester Little Theatre
Feeney shows us a more vulnerable side to Lucky Eric as he breaks the fourth wall talking to the audience about some of the more sobering events that Bouncers observe, with a particular focus on the treatment and objectification of women which clearly sickens him. Feeney’s delivery is strong here and the atmosphere in the auditorium changes as soon as one of his monologues is announced – Feeney holds the audience in the palm of his hand.
Cathy Robinson, East Midlands Theatre
The bouncers played by Steve Feeney, Allan Smith, Steve Finlay and Steve Elliott all deserve an equal mention. Their dancing, jokes and one-liners had the audience in hysterics for the whole evening.
