REVIEWS

"Beth Steel's play about the 1980s Latin American debt crisis is staged with a hurtling energy that propels us through the intricacies of international banking" ~ Michael Billington for The Guardian

"A macabre Day of the Dead carnival runs rampant. It may well be that the play is too much of a lesson, but it's one that patently can't be learnt too often" ~ Paul Taylor for The Independent
