REVIEWS
"The script is smart and witty ... admirably bold and asks big questions' ~ The Guardian
"Extraordinary and vibrant .. a pertinent play about refuge, safety, hiding, women, survival and love" ~ The Stage
"A high concept play with a lightness of touch ... the discussions about collective responsibility, individual action or inaction in the face of moral wrongdoing, and the question of whether to stay silent or speak out, are deeply resonant" ~ Britishtheatre.com
