Critics Review

‘Thought-provoking… Fritz’s writing is strong throughout’

‘A hugely original, intricate work… a harrowing exploration of the void between feeling something, and taking action… fast-paced and almost physically painful to watch’

* Time Out *

‘This intense, sprawling play is a call to action… [has] such a timely vitality… there are few playwrights working in Britain today whose work is as slick and unsettling as James Fritz’s’

* Exeunt Magazine *

‘Powerful and satisfying… James Fritz is quietly building himself a powerful reputation as a young playwright to watch, and Parliament Square gives an idea of his range and ambition’

* British Theatre Guide *

‘Powerful’

* Guardian *

‘Thought-provoking… Fritz’s writing is strong throughout’
