REVIEWS:
"Bewitchingly strange - watery and wild but deftly crafted."
Evening Standard
"Strange, eerie, tense... Butterworth possesses a singular talent."
The Guardian
"Teasing, haunting and hushed... this subtle, troubling piece is likely to nag away in the memory."
Telegraph
"As taut as a wire and as tense as a thriller."
WhatsOnStage.com
"One of the best productions of the year... a magnetically eerie, luminously beautiful psychodrama."
Time Out
"A delicately unfolding puzzle... all of it is wrapped in marvellous language... extraordinary."
