"As heart wrenching as it is rib-tickling... Sunday Morning is a wonderfully written play, performed with aplomb, sincerity and superb comic timing by Cuningham." Ben Hewis, What's On Stage, UK

"James Cuningham is a fine actor, albeit that this is his first solo performance. He holds the audience in the palm of his hand throughout. Both his miming and his timing skills are superb." Moira De Swart, ArtsComments

"A masterpiece... a rare depth to both the drama and the comedy. Cuningham lays his emotions bare. An absolutely stunning piece of theatre."

Lesley Stones, Daily Maverick

"As for the acting, it's quite simply flawless. Cuningham is one classy act" Carla Lever, 48 Hours

"Charming, chilling... theatre at it's best. Cuningham is one of those performers who will conquer his obstacles. It’s part of his journey and we are the ones who benefit. Don't miss it" Diane de Beer, What's On Durban

"A magisterial performance… a tour de force by the most exacting standards, from the brilliant, wordless preface to the last speech." Cape Argus
