“A clever, witty play that turns language itself into the main character. ‘Beware of the Old Bull’ is both hilarious and thought-provoking, holding up a mirror to the nonsense we often accept without question. Anyone who’s ever sat through a meeting full of buzzwords will find this spot-on.”

“David Withy’s play is a masterclass in linguistic satire. ‘Beware of the Old Bull’ takes everyday expressions and exposes the nonsense we wrap around them. It’s fast-paced, wonderfully British, and so smartly written I had to pause just to laugh out loud.”
Nigel Thorne
“This play is genius. If you’ve ever been trapped in a room with someone explaining ‘synergetic paradigms’ with a straight face, this will be gloriously cathartic. ‘Beware of the Old Bull’ makes a serious point about language while being consistently hilarious.”
Fiona Blackwell
“A marvellous blend of farce and commentary, ‘Beware of the Old Bull’ is a love letter to plain English and a warning about the nonsense we dress up as intelligence. Alan’s surreal journey through idioms and institutions had me grinning from start to finish.”
