“Most theatre companies aim to give us a good night out. Version 1.0 goes the extra mile: it entertains, informs and then contributes to the betterment of our democracy.”
Jason Blake, Sun Herald, 2/9/2007
“It’s just possible Version One Point Zero have pioneered a new form of theatre.” Lloyd Bradford Syke, The Australian Stage, 25/5/2009
“breathless, informative and very funny” John McCallum, The Australian, 17/9/2007
“an expected delight… Version 1.0 have created a funny, scary, ‘agitprop’ piece of theatre - cleverly theatricalised in a range of ways; aided and abetted by a cast of characters who would be comic geniuses - if not for the fact that they are based on real people.” Glen R Johns, Lowdown Magazine
“It’s like The 7:30 Report on acid.” FBi Radio
“this production is nothing short of an exhilarating and superbly didactic piece of political theatre that shines a theatrical magnifying glass on what happened during the scandal… Deeply Offensive and Utterly Untrue is a very important production that holds a lucid mirror up to our democratic processes… the group has created its finest piece of theatre yet.” Nicholas Pickard, The Daily Telegraph, 28/8/07
“Version 1.0 has recently specialised in a sub-genre of the verbatim - inquiry theatre - and this is its most assured work yet. ... the skills and environment here (more concise condensation of material into digestible nuggets, superb video from Sean Bacon, a more defined and coherent physical language) result in the tightest and most pointed work the company ... has mounted.” Stephen Dunne, Sydney Morning Herald 28/8/07
“Informed and informative, all balls and no filler; once again Version 1.0 prove themselves as purveyors of unmissable renegade theatre on a topic that should have our country still hanging its head in shame.” Ewa Jaremkiewicz, City Hub, September 2007
