REVIEWS:

"Barron’s dialogue is astute, observing the minutiae of coercion and hidden pain."

 Time Out London

"Strength and fragility dance side by side: sex games empower and then suddenly frighten; drunken nights liberate and later depress; expressions of love explode magically and quickly fade to nothing."

 The Guardian

"Barron's writing style creates truly unpredictable characters, as they flicker from larger statements to kooky one-liners."

 What's On Stage

"Thrusts itself upon the audience with a near-reckless openness."

 Broadway World

Premiere Production: Dirty Crusty premiered at The Yard Theatre in London in October of 2019, under the direction of Jay Miller.
