REVIEWS
"Two years ago, Payne won copious awards for Constellations, to which this new play bears a passing resemblance in its exploration of identity and free will. I happen to think Incognito is a better play in its formal ingenuity and intellectual adventurousness" ~ Michael Billington, The Guardian
"This is shiningly brilliant, a meditation on neuroscience, memory, deception, heredity and identity: alive with compassion and wonder, streaked with intelligent humour..." ~ Libby Purves, theatreCat
