Media Reviews
Over Gardens Out: 'Utterly compulsive'. Sunday Telegraph Small Change: 'This is a beautiful product of uncompromising puritan imagination'. The Times Kick for Touch: 'An explosive concentration and a lyrical integrity rare, not to say unique, among living British playwrights'. Plays and Players Mean Tears: 'An achingly powerful study of lust and loneliness among men and women, this is a romantic drama which intelligently and movingly captures a world of lost friendship and sexual treachery'. Punch
