An intriguing picture of a brilliant mind caught up in the prejudices of his day…Moodie is a terrific writer of dialogue and has given Wint wonderful lines that drip with delicious irony.

(Praise for The Real McCoy:)

Returning to the same theatre where he started his career 20 years ago, Moodie doesn't disappoint. 'The Real McCoy' is big storytelling with a light touch – a funny and sensitive script and likeable cast with a dignified leading man…'The Real McCoy' is the real McCoy.
