Appraisal

Take Note Theatre for the Tabard, Epsilon Productions & Smokescreen Productions present
APPRAISAL by Tim Marriott

An annual work review that goes horribly wrong.

Head of Department Nicky wants to get on with her job, her boss Jo has other ideas. He has a plan and thinks she is going to like it…

A two-hander dark comedy, Appraisal is a power play of manipulation, subtext and subterfuge, exploring the explosive consequences that can arise out of a seemingly innocent conversation. It achieved 5* reviews and Sold Out performances at Edinburgh Festival and Adelaide Fringe, where it also won a Best Theatre Award. The 2023 Edinburgh run garnered multiple award nominations from OffFest and Dark Chat including Best Play, Best Director, Best Show, and winning Best Actor and Best Actress.

Appraisal is the latest play by sitcom veteran (BBC’s The Brittas Empire) Tim Marriott who will perform alongside Angela Bull, recently seen in ITV’s Coronation Street and DI Ray. Appraisal plays for a limited three week run at the Tabard.
