Reviews

'[An] extraordinary new play... perhaps her greatest fusion yet of remembrance and testimony... combines simplicity with rhythmic muscularity'

* Metro *

'Tucker Green has never been a dramatist to waste words... never lets up in power, pathos or atmosphere'

* Evening Standard *

'Written with all of Green's uniquely insistent pulse, this is a play of small gestures that blossom into big statements'

* Arts Desk *
