The Stage

 

"complex, fascinating and sophisticated - it’s really very good indeed"

Camden People's Theatre

“I loved how unpredictable, how alive, how dangerous it feels. I love Olly’s persona: he’s a charmer, a trickster, a penitent... I love the writing:the little repetitions, the author’s voice in the guest’s script, the sheer rhythm and poetry of the last section. There’s a delicious precision of language — and an equally delicious enjoyment of how slippery it can become.”

Jonathan Wakeham, Producer

 

“This feels like a very dangerous game. Exciting, and very brave, and dangerous.”

David Harradine, Artistic Director, Fevered Sleep
