Media Reviews
'Rona Munro's quietly impressive play seems simple enough on the surface, but, like her characters, it has hidden depths. It is a love story about how women love men unwisely and too well, and about the painful, twisted, sacred love between mothers and daughters' Guardian 'An exceptionally gripping and deeply moving play... This is psychological drama at its best - tense, harrowing, yet also powered by an unsentimental fund of compassion. In its later stages, sniffs and sobs of emotion could be heard among the audience... Munro never sounds a false note' Daily Telegraph
