The production was directed by Atonement director Joe Wright at the Young Vic Theatre, a theatre which has become something of a second home for Brendan. Critics described Brendan's performance as captivating, earth moving and jaw-dropping. "Cowell conveys the excitement of science with the thrashy zeal of a rock god." The Evening Standard
