What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Heartbreaking… a neat blend of cynicism, whimsy and sincerity… if the liberal sprinkling of pop culture makes this piquant, the gender politics and wasted lives give it plenty of real-world clout’

* WhatsOnStage *

‘Perfectly formed… a thoughtful hour that requires no prior knowledge of the American sit-com… blackly comic’

* Independent *

‘Savagely well written’

* Exeunt *

‘Shockingly good… a virtuosic piece of writing, playful, post-modern and devastatingly serious, all at once’

* Time Out *

‘A startling piece of new writing… uses pop culture as a way of exploring common fears and anxieties… Fritz unpicks what happens after the happy ending’

* The Stage *

‘Exquisitely written… fascinating’

* Broadway Baby *
