Review:
An outstanding success... Vivienne Franzmann is one of today's most sensitive and thoughtful playwrights. --British Theatre Guide
Immensely powerful and eloquently constructed... a richly humane and insightful piece. --Independent
Brims with powerful emotions and interesting ideas. --The Arts Desk
Bold stuff, packed with ideas... combines a dense psychological study with a philosophical question, then drops in some political bite to boot. --The Stage
An engrossing allegory for the modern age, where we consume things at the click of a button, this new work forces a consideration of what happens when we want something so badly that we try to pretend there are no consequences. --whatsonstage.com
