REVIEWS
"The Royal Shakespeare Company's Making Mischief festival is aptly named: the two short plays which make up the bulk of the festival of new writing initially seem like conventional domestic comedies, but belie more playful, complex ideas, teasing out themes of human comprehension and responsibility in the face of loss and disaster ... A double bill of mischievously deceptive plays" ~ The Stage
