Reviews
Harrogate plays games with its audience, setting up and then confounding our expectations ... Smith's writing is punchy, sometimes bruising * Financial Times *
[A] knife-like piece of writing * Stage on "Harrogate" *
Smith's skill is in sidling up to a taboo and staying just the right side of it ... A slippery, unpinnable piece: a triptych full of uncanny echoes and reverb * Whatsonstage on "Harrogate" *
