Letter to a Daughter: 'Wesker breaks new ground ... a moving depiction of a doubt-ridden single mother ... a finely crafted piece of theatre' ~ Jewish Chronicle
Annie Wobbler: 'All three different characters are shown with an intensity of personal involvement which is where Wesker flourishes best' ~ Sunday Telegraph
