Media Reviews
'This is a compelling and deeply humane production and one I warmly recommend. It is a gripping story, powerfully told and excellently performed.' Telegraph 'A profoundly powerful new play, Daytona is a gift. Its exceptional premier at the Park Theatre would be a tragedy to miss.' Upcoming 'Oliver Cotton's meaty plot and sharp, witty dialogue make for a poignant drama.' A Younger Theatre ' - a gripping story, powerfully told - What begins as a play about the killing of a Nazi winds up as a deeply moving love story in old age, and in the final scene it transcends words.' Four stars - Telegraph 'It's a marvellous, moving play not a whit dwarfed by its grandiose new surroundings.' Four stars - What's on Stage 'Cotton's dialogue is sharp, funny and sometimes profoundly evocative.' Financial Times
