REVIEWS:
"One of the most astonishing debuts I have seen in more than 30 years."
Daily Telegraph
"Her 90-minute play has a quality of emotional desperation one more often associates with mature American dramatists like Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee than with cool young Brits."
Guardian
"...this intensely moving, skilfully crafted piece... Stenham isn't just promising. She has already delivered on it, and she would deserve the acclaim even if she were twice her age."
Daily Express
"The startling paradox of That Face, however, is that there is so much vigour in the writing, so much passion in the playing, that one leaves the theatre feeling strangely exhilarated."
Daily Telegraph
"The play jumps straight into the deep end of the pool. Enter at your own risk."
