A few websites have posted articles about their Year in Review of Theatre, and most of them included Tom!

What’s On Stage:

Another was probably Simon Stephens’ Punk Rock at the Lyric Hammersmith, where Sean Holmes launched a new regime that meant business, following the Stephens – in which newcomer Tom Sturridge shone as a troubled Stockport sixth-former in a copy-cat re-hash of the Columbine School Massacre – with a superb revival of Trevor Griffiths’ Comedians.

The Guardian:

Simon Stephens’s Punk Rock – Sean Holmes’s first show as artistic director of the Lyric Hammersmith – featured the outstanding Tom Sturridge as a schoolboy slowly rumpling into murderous madness.

London Informer:

The young cast were all superb, especially Tom Sturridge as the increasingly erratic oddball William, and the dialogue was snappy and at times intensely lyrical.
