REVIEWS
"Wade's original and beautifully observed play balances raw emotion with a deliciously delicate black humour" ~ Aleks Sierz, The Stage * * * * *
"Laura Wade's play is set in the limbo between a death sentence and the death itself. How does knowledge of one's imminent demise, or that of a loved one, affect the living of one's life?" ~ Guardian
"Laura Wade's play is a 90-minute masterpiece, a jewel, dark but translucent. It is a play of love, death and grief: the grief that is hardest to bear, because it begins before the loved one dies" ~ John Peter, Sunday Times * * * * *
