| "No one quite ranks with Lyman as a narrator. As an authoritative off-camera voice, the man's a rocket,
an audio auteur. No telling the number of documentaries I've watched while thinking how much better they
would be were Lyman the narrator. He and his tubes are that good, his sense of pitch and instinct for the
moment flawless. Not one misplaced vibrato. TV's finest narrator.” |

“Exits and Entrances ... features a gem of a performance by Will Lyman as an aging actor confronting the
dimming of his professional light ...” |

| "... it's Will Lyman's performance in the central role of Carpenter that will leave the audience raving. Full of subtlety, he conveys the character's stubbornness with some perfectly delivered dry humour while also making his vulnerability apparent. I doubt I'll see a better performance at the Fringe, and several other audience members were similarly impressed." |

emotional frostbite to confront old pain and new vulnerability." |
