Michael Daviot

 

                             HYDE & SEEK REVIEW EXCERPTS

 

 

Daviot slips seamlessly from one persona to another, his accents and inflections noting the difference along with his body language and, of course, his words…. if you’re interested in duality and transformation, memory and identity, humanity and the soul, Daviot’s show is nigh unmissable. It’s not about self-indulgence, it’s about sharing ideas, and the charismatic Daviot is a superb communicator.                   **** All Edinburgh

 

Identity is what is sought, the means perhaps stranger than strange, yet potent….Endlessly charming as he morphs from one character to the other…. a great performer, a strong and interesting story worth telling…        

**** Edinburgh Spotlight

 

 

…. takes the audience on a journey through questions of morality, destiny and identity that seize and fascinate both thought and imagination…Daviot is a spellbinding writer and magnetic performer, and an hour that is over before you realise it will linger in the mind afterwards.                    **** The Stage

 

This is a thoroughly engrossing show that’s a little hard to categorise…. Actor and writer Michael Daviot presents a fascinating mix of drama and storytelling…. the interplay between these three strands – biography, autobiography and fiction – is endlessly rewarding. A fine reflection on a fine bogey tale!                 

**** Three Weeks
