REVIEWS
"One of the stand-outs of this year's Traverse programme" ~ Theo Bosanquet
"McCafferty is particularly good on the way the colour is bleached from relationships; he is heartbreaking on the desperate loneliness of this foursome, and truthful about our longing to inject some excitement into the tediousness of our everyday lives" ★★★★ ~ Lyn Gardner
