Excellent duologue between the two brothers, the writing superb and the performances engaging. As the older brother, Michal Nowak is bold, brash, unstable, and emotional. He’s an excellent “rogue”. By contrast, the younger brother, played by Mateusz Mirek, appears vulnerable but is fierce and feisty. The pair of them together have a chemistry that’s entirely believable.

Had the best time at 'The Key’. The heightened but light tone and full-hearted performances make for a surreal and uniquely enjoyable 2 hours.

A fabulous opening night of The Key! Choreographed well with good timing and snappy delivery it kept the audience engaged. I was in stitches and came away thinking I’d like to see more from this team.
