Critics Review
‘Eleanor Tindall’s drama [is] a queer romance, a haunted house story and a horror. It is all of these things, twisting and springing surprises, glinting with dangerous promise… a gripping ride’
* Guardian *‘A thrilling, genre-bending two-hander romance that’s as sweet as it is unsettling… a breathtaking dramatic experience’
* Theatre Weekly *‘A lovely story of two women finding romantic connection with each other… easy to root for’
* The Stage *‘Exciting and expansive… an imaginative, ambitious play… combining the sweetness of a contemporary queer rom-com with the dark underbelly of body horror… Tindall has a clear instinct for storytelling and plot… deeply entertaining’
* Broadway World *‘Tindall’s dialogue crackles and pops… a meet cute queer love story that has the audience on tenterhooks’
* Time Out *‘Ambitious and adventurous… We feel we’d follow Ivy and Ash anywhere, in all their unassuming mess… compulsively watchable’
* The Upcoming *‘Striking and agile… Tindall’s dialogue is light on its feet, rhythmic, true’
* Observer *‘Witty, intimate, and raw… a romantic psychological thriller that tells a heartfelt story exploring the complexities of relational trauma, sexuality, and female autonomy’
* Theatre & Tonic *‘A queer, meet-cute, love-story thriller… a twisting, genre-jumping exploration of queer female independence, body horror, and the awkwardness of first romantic encounters… pulsating and scary… Tindall’s writing masterfully pivots between comedy and horror’
* All That Dazzles *‘Tindall’s “will-they, won’t they” dialogue fizzes with joyously observed comic misunderstandings, naturalistic bickering and cross-talk, and unspoken lust’
* Reviews Hub *‘A quietly astonishing thriller… tough-minded and terrific’
* London Theatre *Eleanor Tindall
