Media Reviews

Slag
An embattled contemporary morality play full of sardonic fun and spiky indignation...What an enviable debut: funny, intelligent and briskly honest. -- Sunday Times
Teeth 'n' Smiles
The writing is bright with aggression...a flintily intelligent play. -- The Times
Knuckle
I beg all lovers of the theatre, and all those concerned for its future, to see Knuckle. -- Sunday Telegraph
Licking Hitler
Beginning with a middle-class young woman's unceremonious introduction to specialized war work, it develops with a devastating economy of means into a dramatization of the unarguable logic of deception...elegant, spare and as lucid as crystal. -- Observer
Plenty
Brilliant...it deepens with every viewing. --Mel Gussow, New York Times
