Review
“…an important play that boldly goes where few plays have gone before it. It’s essential focus on communication and the needs of humanity makes for difficult, confronting theatre.” —Stephen Collins, Britishtheatre (2015-05-11)
“The characters may be specific but Fraser deals in universal emotions, using them skilfully to bind us to his story.” —Colin MacLean, The Edmonton Sun (2015-05-11)
“Yes, it’s funny and brutal and honest. But it is also moving, deeply emotional, and ultimately harrowing. At the final scene there were quite a few in the audience trying to control their sobs.” —Anne Cox, Stage Review (2016-02-01)
