THE TIMES - 5 STARS

'James Bond is two weeks away from renewing his licence to kill, but something just as thrilling is happening in Hammersmith - theatre has renewed its licence to laugh.'

‘While the Spyski! creators Peepolykus (here John Nicholson and Javier Marzan) have delivered great moments of clowning before, they've never come up with a show so ambitious, so well told.’

‘This is highly skilled work - when did you last laugh throughout a two-hour play?’

EVENING STANDARD - 4 STARS

'For those who can’t wait for Quantum of Solace, the Lyric is offering an extremely jolly action/spy caper.’

‘Japesters Peepolykus have come up with an ingenious idea which the Lyric’s departing Artistic Director David Farr has fashioned into exceedingly mirthful shape.’

‘A lovably ramshackle set and props are a large part of Spyski’s charm along with the cracking script from Nicholson and Steven Canny.'
