What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A tender and observant piece that’s at once a tribute to the idea of community and a sensitive vision of the perils of isolation… a touching portrait of mature affection, quietly truthful about its rewards and difficulties’
* Evening Standard *‘Brimming with gentle humour and bursting with heart… the restraint and social realism of Pringle’s writing lifts it above saccharine glibness, towards something far more elegiac and far richer dramatically… a gently funny and genuinely adorable not-quite love story’
* The Stage *‘Wittily and cleverly written… it is closely and lovingly observed, creating a sense of these people and their lives’
* Whatsonstage.com *‘Offers a sympathetic view of a pair of senior citizens and suggests that age offers no immunity to passion… a gift to older actors’
