Reviews
Moving, multilayered and intelligent. * Guardian *
Gupta is gutsy with her rewrite. The first half, in particular, may have characters corresponding to Ibsen but is far more concerned with giving a sense of the Raj as it was in the high Victorian era. * Time Out, London *
Fitfully fascinating and eventually mesmerising adaptation. * The Times *
