Critics Review
‘Norris’ script is very funny, throwing laugh-out-loud one-liners out at a rate of knots’
‘Norris’ script is very funny, throwing laugh-out-loud one-liners out at a rate of knots’
* WhatsOnStage *‘Gripping and deeply moving from start to finish… brilliant, sensitive writing’
* British Theatre Guide *‘Achingly funny and tender… of the hundreds of shows at the Fringe, few feel as necessary as this’
* Financial Times *‘Consolidates the career of a significant playwriting talent… Quite simply, this is everything you could want from a play on such a difficult subject. It’s so straightforward and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny as to make it a popular hit, but with an unerring connection to its characters and their responses’
* Scotsman *‘Growth has a beady wit and lots of snazzy one-liners… funny and truthful’
