Critics Review
‘Sophie Wu has a knack for nifty dialogue. Her debut play is an engaging, quirky 80-minute piece about the kinship of oddballs and the disruptiveness of innocence’
‘Sophie Wu has a knack for nifty dialogue. Her debut play is an engaging, quirky 80-minute piece about the kinship of oddballs and the disruptiveness of innocence’
* Guardian *‘Wu has a sharp ear for the mundane details of everyday conversation and she develops distinctive characters without veering towards stereotypes… Ramona Tells Jim has a quirky humour, founded on the universal truth that the pieces in life’s jigsaw rarely fit together neatly’
* The Reviews Hub *’[A] strong debut play… funny and charming… consistently engaging and, for all its undertow of regret, rather good fun’
* Time Out *‘Deliciously rich language blends with social satire in a nice piece of kooky storytelling… Wu’s text has a warmhearted flavour and a teen glow, a lovely mix of the childish and the faux-adult’
* The Arts Desk *‘A laugh-out-loud coming of age tale… a well-crafted study of how a single misstep can throw off a whole life’
