What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Compassionate, warm and funny… Fritz’s work pairs structural playfulness with emotional intelligence and inky wit… his plays are contained and compassionate, and frequently find reservoirs of humour in places you wouldn’t expect’
* The Stage *‘Witty, inventive, and heart-warming… if you want to make an audience cry, you have to make them laugh first. Lava does both beautifully… raucous laughter, followed by absolute stillness and heartache’
* Everything Theatre *‘A play that unpicks experiences and perceptions of grief in a truly unique, engaging way, and one that deserves to have a very long life’
* Broadway World *About The Author
