"...a well-crafted script provides plenty of wise-cracking anecdotes and witty one-liners to tickle your funny bone...All the performers bring energy and enthusiasm to their characters, with many juggling multiple roles with ease. O’Connor shines as Death, ....Filled with life-affirming messages about death and what it truly means to live, Reaper Man takes the audience on a light-hearted yet deeply philosophical journey." – Trista Coulter - Indaily

 

"With a small but multitalented cast and crew, Munt recreates the Discworld..(she) has the happy knack of casting just the right actor... Death is the star and leading man of this story, played by Hugh O’Connor, ...He managed to be both a threatening character and a sympathetic one at the same time, whilst giving us insights into the difficulty of being an anthropomorphic entity.  Reaper Man ..finishes with words from Sir Terry Pratchett himself...“ I remember when all this will be again”. Fitting and poignant words when you remember that Sir Terry is battling Alzheimers Disease and, in honour of this, all proceeds of Reaper Man’s preview night were donated to Alzheimers SA". - Christine Pyman - Glam Adelaide

 

"Co-directors Pamela Munt (who also adapted the novel) and David Dyte put the focus..on the various styles of humour...this allows for plenty of laughs...but they also mange to dig deeper - emotionally - particularly int the treatment of the relationship between DEATH and Miss Flitworth" - Jamie Wright - Adelaide Theatre Guide

 

"...the writing is crisp, direct, and delivers Pratchett's concepts with a mixture of good humour and real tension. The direction is tight and there are some truly touching scenes between Death and Miss Flitworth...there is no denying the quality of Hugh O'Connor's fine performance as Death...An authentic and well-crafted morality play." - Martin Christmas - The Barefoot Review
