-
“A twisted, darkly witty morality fable”
“Tom Brooke is wonderfully compe“Startlingly idiosyncratic and often surprisingly funny”
“Anyone willing to embrace the authentic excitement of an individual voice matched by an ideal production are in for an fascinating, if bracing, ride.”
“Blessed by the adroit pacing and perfectly judged acting of Featherstone’s completely unified Roots
“Kafka sans surrealism, an account of bureaucratic absurdity that doesn’t hide behind absurdist humour
“The writing is tender but fat free, hardened and intensified by director Simon Godwin’s no frills in the round production.”
“A big step forwards for [De-lahay], a troubling drama that points to yet another sign that a sense of compassion is slowly seeping out of British society.”
3 stars
“De-lahay admirably avoids the pitfalls of sensationalism and sentimentality… her dialogue has a jagged authenticity that conjures the grimy urban backdrop of fast-food shops, cramped living conditions and grim official interview rooms”
3 stars
“A Vigorous and dynamic piece… sharply directed by Simon Godwin”
