Reviews
Trevannion's dialogue is full of humour and compassion, and his plotting constantly surprising, with past and present often presented simultaneously, in a manner reflecting Owen's growing confusion; there is a poetic false ending, though, which is somewhat dislocatory. * British Theatre Guide *
Trevannion displays great skill and empathy in his portraits of small-town lives disrupted by big emotions. This is a beautifully realised production of an unashamedly poignant play.? * British Theatre Guide *
Refreshingly uncynical exploration of the tragedy of lost love and the enduring hope of survival * The Stage *
