REVIEWS:

"[McKevitt] is fictionalising while retaining the texture of real life: just one day like any other, ordinariness artfully shaped into 80 minutes."

 The Guardian

"A reassuring comedy about long-term illness."

 The Irish Times

"Wonderfully realised drama about a family under pressure."

 Business Post

"Light-hearted and humorous."

 No More Workhorse
