Press Reviews Dancing Times By Jonathan Gray – October, 2019 “Waters incorporates as much speed and drama into the production as he does choreography . . . [he] also juxtaposes terrifying physical and verbal descriptions of the effects of his addiction with the repartee and arch humour of a comedian.” Means Happy By Ash Kotak – September 22, 2019 “Waters is courageous and his work is painfully honest as any good art must be. He uses all of himself, his body, his mind, his stories, his damage to illuminate his story. In doing so he speaks about a series of stigma laden subjects with wit and a command of his stage that few dare to tackle and only someone as talented as Waters can pull off.” The Guardian By Lyndsey Winship – September 13, 2019 “Inarguably, this is one brave performance. Waters deserves huge respect for his remarkable commitment to honesty in reliving his darkest moments. But more than that, for bringing himself back from the brink.” QX Magazine By Ifan Llewelyn – September 13, 2019 “London gay theatre just can’t get enough of Chemsex … Stuart Waters’ ROCKBOTTOM promised a fresh, genuine approach to its depiction . . . There was something profoundly allusive in seeing the abstract and mutating pulses of his back muscles that spoke to a dismal desperation and his bodily endurance.” G Scene By Eric Page – March 6, 2019 “A dreamy re-imagining of every club night, of every younger and not so younger gay man’s search for connection, for something other than the void of the single self. The dark humour of the clown is used here at its best, crepuscular pathos eclipsed by careless tragedy, interspersed with frantic bursts of UltraCharm you have to laugh or what . . . cry?”
