Jo Ledingham, Courier
“For 75 minutes you could have heard a pin drop in the small space of the PAL theatre. As the actors exited and the lights went to black, the words “brave, terrifying, sad” competed in my head… well worth seeing”
Gillian Lockitch, Review from the House
“well written, well directed, the actors captivating”
Kari Barrett, The Peak
