REVIEWS:

"Mr. Ravenhill's writing has a hypnotic beauty itself, as the locked chambers of each of the character's minds are slowly exposed... The play is full of perceptive commentary on the tension between affection among friends -- and the interior tensions in the individual soul between self-love and self-hate."

 The New York Times

"Utterly engrossing."

 Theater Mania

"Ravenhill's text has a hypnotic fluidity."

 British Theatre Guide
