Media Reviews

Brutal and compelling... be warned this is as uncomfortable a night in the theatre as you're ever likely to get -Evening Standard

Intended to raise awareness of child sex trafficking rings and thus has the single-minded focus of issue led-drama. But it is also excellent -Metro

How to recommend a play that makes an ashen-faced wreck of you? My advice is see Roadkill but take someone along to scrape you off the floor afterwards. -Sunday Times
