REVIEWS

"An utterly transporting piece of storytelling" ~ Broadway World

"A true crime classic turned into a tense drama... ingeniously plotted... Kate Summerscale’s Victorian potboiler is deftly condensed in a production that brings out the misogyny and class snobbery of the era" ~ The Guardian

"Taut and magnetic... Alexandra Wood’s bold adaptation turns the book’s structure on its head... electric" ~ The Times

"'Powerful... a wonderfully concise retelling and reexamination of the facts... The story unfolds with pleasing clarity" ~ WhatsOnStage
