Media Reviews
'quiet, wistful, tender... it has a delicate soulfulness and a truthful charm' - Evening Standard 'there is genuine warmth and inclusiveness to this show... best of all is Enda Walsh's script, which has great, puckish fun applying a bit of Brechtian silliness to the romcom formula' - Time Out 'charmingly funny and affecting... demonstrates the power of music both to express deep psychic hurt and to perform a cure of sorts' - Independent
