‘It's certainly a timely and relevant work in the wake of the #MeToo campaign, and although unsettling, it's laced with a strong undercurrent of black humour...
‘Crewe's talents as a director and writer really shine, with the actors also firing on all cylinders...
‘This is an intense and disquieting play that cleverly takes us in a series of unexpected directions...
‘Theatre that provokes our thought, prompts debate and starts a conversation, even if it's not a pleasant one, must be seen as a good thing. Crewe will no doubt be on our radar from now on.’

‘Emotionally fuelled and challenging to watch. Crewe has written a multi-layered and very complex play...
‘There are many uncomfortable scenes throughout the play and prepare to be shifted out of your comfort zone as it does exactly what good theatre should do and makes you question what you have just watched.’
