Reviews
[A] complex, unsettling and provocative play about nationhood and identity * The Stage *
Ireland's play slyly makes the case that it is not discrimination that ensures survival . . . but rather the ability to be two opposing things at once: Irish and British, politician and terrorist, even comedy and tragedy. If tragicomedy is the natural Irish form, Ireland makes his own inversion here, beginning with amused splutters, ending in hard gulps * Irish Times *
Compulsive viewing * Daily Telegraph *
David Ireland's shocking new play balances humour and horror * Observer *
