Reviews
"Sinha has a command of the combative staccato rhythms and jabbing wit of streetwise city youth vernacular, and an instinct for dramatic structure... There's a tenderness and flair at work here that makes the familiar something special." - London Times "A bracing blast from the immigration frontline a terrific full-length professional playwriting debut." - Evening Standard "A lively, vivid piece of writing." - Guardian "There's an admirable honesty in this script." - Daily Telegraph
