SHOW A ONE NIGHT STAND A ONE STAR REVIEW Theatre critic Alex Lyons made his name from his
brutal brilliant reviews. So when he sees Hayley Sinclair's dismal one-woman show at the
Edinburgh Fringe he thinks nothing of dashing off another of his trademark one-star pans for
the newspaper. He also thinks nothing of taking her home after the performance failing at any
point to mention who he is. What he doesn't expect is for Hayley to revamp her show into a
review of Alex's entire life exposing what an awful person he really is. Worse the show is a
smash hit and Alex is about to become national news. But can Hayley bring the establishment
down without taking herself with it? Funny and thrilling Bring the House Down gives you a
front row seat to the downfall of the people who tell us what to think. It's about art
performance female rage and how while revenge may be sweet it can also be perilous. 'An
