Reviews
A masterful performance, a smart spectacle and a further testament to Ericson's growing magnificence as a modern playwright and performer. * Graeme Strachan, British Theatre Guide *
Racism, fascism and personal revelation all get a workout in this beautifully crafted Pinteresque monologue, as Ericson skilfully portrays a man far more complex and considered. * Craig Cook, The Adelaide Advertiser *
A passionate cry against racism and xenophobia in every country, in every century; it speaks to us very clearly today. * Fringe Review (Highly Recommended Show - Edinburgh Fringe) *
