Media Reviews
'A vivid portrait of entrenched attitudes... a devastating critique of a society where violence is still seen as the solution rather than the problem' Guardian; 'His writing has the blazing conviction of lived experience combined with an unfashionable relish for strong plots... What a superb night of theatre this is' Daily Telegraph
