Gimme Shelter (Gem & Gotcha & Getaway) - 'This brilliantly and cleverly interlinked trio of plays are about fighting and acceptance ...
Humanism and individuality are the lodestars sought for ... grim but beautifully humorous' - Guardian
Barbarians (Killing Time & Abide With Me & In the City) - "Captures unerringly and with unhistrionic force a sense of life down in Lewisham where unemployment is running rife and demoralisingly among the bored young ... it is not a grim play though the final implications are chilling. There is a raw and crude humour in the situation and language of these unemployed boys ... magnificently a play of today" - Guardian
