REVIEWS
"One of the most powerful 90 minutes I've spent in a theatre" ~ Dominic Maxwell, The Times
"An evening in which form and content are married to offer a harrowing, astringent but surprisingly playful critique of war, and the violence of patriarchy and capitalism" ~ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian Lyn Gardner
"One of the most powerful plays I've ever seen ... it grabs you by the throat and then it shakes you almost senseless ... a theatrical tour de force" ~ Aleks Sierz, Arts Desk
