"This play reaches moments of almost unbearable intensity... naturalistic scenes flow seamlessly into sequences of highly stylised theatre... such potent theatre!" Vera Lustig, The Independent "Elegantly structured, highly informative, and imaginatively theatrical. There wasn't a dry eye in the house." Anne McFerran, Stage and Television Today
