REVIEWS
"Russell Labey's play cleverly reworks William Sutcliffe's enormously popular novel, and his stage adaptation makes a thoroughly enjoyable evening" ~ Roger Foss, What's On
"Smart, entertaining stuff ... somewhere between Adrian Mole and Holden Caulfield" ~ The Mail on Sunday
"Adolescent desire, burgeoning sexuality, loss of virginity and cross-generational sex, all deftly handled in a cracking script" ~ The Guardian
"Compelling, fast, funny, scintillating ..." ~ 5 Stars Critics' Choice, The Scotsman
"... the play's ultimate message that we shouldn't let sex and sexuality become such a big deal is communicated more effectively than in most 'ishoo-based' pieces simply by being raised so unfussily" ~ Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times
