Reviews
"This play reaches moments of almost unbearable intensity... naturalistic scenes flow seamlessly into sequences of highly stylised theatre... such potent theatre."
Vera Lustig - The Independent
"A model of its kind ... elegantly structured, highly informative, and imaginatively theatrical."
Ann McFerran - Stage and Television Today
