Sandford as basin-haired, bespectacled Rob, gives a note-perfect and sympathetic performance...a masterclass in how to do funny-sad.

Stuart Gidden, The Stage

Sandford’s very physical portrayal as the barbaric Titus is tremendous. He gives an intense, energetic and mesmerizing performance. · Anne Cox, stagereview.co.uk

His complete dedication with a stiff, awkward physicality and a very precise idiolect makes you fall in love with Rob.

Sandford tears through this part hungrily, creating a visual, auditory and theatrical spectacle that is appropriately seared into audience retinas. Karl O’Doherty, thereviewshub.com
