REVIEWS:

"His writing has the blazing conviction of lived experience combined with an unfashionable relish for strong plots. His best work has a stomach-churning intensity... What a superb night of theatre this is."

 Daily Telegraph

"A vivid portrait of entrenched attitudes... a devastating critique of society where violence is still seen as the solution rather than the problem."

 The Guardian
