Reviews
This is ultimately a story of hope and of being whatever you want to be...Ravenhill's Angela constitutes a wonderful addition to this writer's canon and offers astute insight into a condition about which we still know so little. * Broadway World *
a lovely piece of writing, subtle and delicate, full of unexpected beats and quiet encounters. * WhatsOnStage *
There are tender and moving moments here as well as violent ones; there's loving as well as fear * Arts Desk *
Rather than showing us the effects of Angela's dementia on himself and his father, Ted, the playwright gives primacy to her inner voice and confusions, building a rich subjectivity despite the accompanying sadness. * Guardian *
