Critics Review
‘This exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope… What is extraordinary about Churchill is her capacity as a dramatist to go on reinventing the wheel’
‘This exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope… What is extraordinary about Churchill is her capacity as a dramatist to go on reinventing the wheel’
* Guardian *‘A myriad of short scenes, a plethora of ideas, a large cast, a script of unallocated lines (with an appendix of “random” alternatives), a comedy of communication, a drama of depression, a modern manual of sex, memory and schizophrenia. I’m not quite sure how it happens, but every time Caryl Churchill writes a play, she breaks the mould’
* Whatsonstage.com *‘In the fast-moving traffic of life there are still quiet moments of beauty, heart wrenching sorrow, joy, and profound epiphanies… (The) succinct and thought-provoking script… speaks volumes about the fast turnover of modern life. Five Stars’
* Huffington Post *‘A wonderful web of complex emotions, memories, secrets and facts’
* A Younger Theatre *‘The wit, invention and structural ingenuity of Churchill’s work are remarkable…she never does anything twice’
