Critics Review
‘Extremely funny’
‘Has bags of energy and attack… Zegerman has a sharp eye for middle-class hypocrisy’
* Guardian *‘Well-crafted… an angry play for an angry age’
* The Times *‘This astringent comedy is provocatively topical’
* Independent *‘The jokes exude a powerful tang of truth, and there are moments of deep emotion that bring tears to your eyes… what turns this light comedy of manners into something darker, more emotive and more interesting, is Zegerman’s willingness to explore not only belief, but also prejudice’
* The Arts Desk *‘Extremely funny’
