REVIEWS
'Sharp comedy and a serious purpose are splendidly combined ... It unlocks the imagination, liberates the mind, and leaves you weak with laughter' ~ Time Out
"The play that established Caryl Churchill as the most imaginatively daring of our major dramatists; and, nearly 30 years after its premiere, it still seems not only remarkably inventive but as sharp about the contradictions of gender as anything that has been written since" ~ The Times
