REVIEWS:

"...a timely analysis of the gender divide, which manages to ask important questions about what women might want and how they might successfully find it."

 The Guardian

"...very well put together, with full-bodied characters, sub-plots and back-stories, plenty of amusingly astute lines, and a good slug of social commentary."

 Time Out

"...witty, sad and clever play..."

 Evening Standard

"...an original, sometimes unsettling look at the masks people put on in order to conceal their pain."

 Evening Standard

"It’s a sharp, funny and sad dissection of a doomed attempt to achieve marital bliss by retreating into a delusional cocoon."

 Independent

"...sharp, funny and strikingly perceptive play..."

 WhatsOnStage

"...slick and very enjoyable..."

 The Telegraph
