Reviews
'Powerfully intense... sits at the sharp end of the capital punishment question'
* Guardian *'A stark 60 minutes of staccato poetry... [an] entirely absorbing drama'
* Evening Standard *'Stark, probing... poised and poetic, with such pitch-black humour that laughs pop like gasps in reverse'
* WhatsOnStage *'A taut, measured piece about the nature of justice and revenge... you find yourself, at the blackout, holding your breath'
* The Stage *'Stunning... a fascinating, gripping piece that examines revenge, suffering and human frailties'
