Reviews
There are some lovely grace notes in Brad Birch's intimate father-son tale * Time Out London (on Where the Shot Rabbits Lay) *
a lovely play of sharp edges, falsehoods and unsaid thoughts, twinning great humour and strong emotion throughout * WhatsOnstage (on Even Stillness Breathes Softly Against a Brick Wall) *
short, sharp, shockingly entertaining * Guardian (on The Brink) *
This is a real rarity * Scotsman (on Black Mountain) *
