★★★★ “Briskly directed by Laura Killeen, it’s a deeply atmospheric piece” The Times

★★★★★ “...this production is an undeniable showcase of confident, clear-sighted direction. From the moment the lights go up, you get the sense that Killeen knew exactly what she wanted to say—and how she wanted to say it. The staging is purposeful, transitions are slick, and there's a strong emotional arc driving the whole piece. It’s one of those rare shows where you can feel the director’s fingerprints in the best possible way: guiding, never overwhelming.” The Theatre Reviewer
