Critical Reviews
Aftermath - A one man show
The Scotsman: "Peter Cheevers' new one man show is potentially excellent. At the moment it is diverse, nicely sardonic, versatile and more than a little baffling. There was a definite air of something happening but no one knew quite what. Cheevers is a talented performer, and the characters with whom he peopled his show were beautifully drawn".

John Osborne: "I kept thinking of Marlon Brando's famous scene in the back seat of the car from On The Waterfront, 'I could have had class', he lamented. His anguish was almost Lear-like. Mr Cheevers seemed as if he might not only play the violin again but learn the pianoforte as well".

Ray Connolly: '...of all the films and plays I have seen about the fight game I would have to say that this was one of the most forceful, partly because of Peter Cheever's performance.'
The Ring Gangsters
Linsday Duguid in the Times Literary Supplement: '...the season's masterpiece, the single dinner jacketed actor holds the stage presenting spectators, participants and commentators in funny informative touching entertaining and authentic parodies
Time Out '...Cheevers presents some remarkable ringside caricatures.'
Owen Dudley Edwards The Scotsman:
'He knows how to change personality in a flicker, and how to suggest vital figures present in the empty air around him. He can bounce with confidence and virtually die from battering with the same credibility...the evening remains a testament to an actor whose consistent professionalism is wholly at the service of his deep humanity".
Sheriff of Nottingham

"Peter Cheevers oozed nastiness as the Sheriff of Nottingham and was a real scene-stealer bringing an instant response from the youngsters whenever he ventured onto the stage".
