REVIEWS:
"Short, tense, provocative."
The Guardian
"There are few stage authors writing more interestingly than Mark Ravenhill… He is – it is now yet more evident – a searing, intelligent, disturbing sociologist with a talent for satirical dialogue and a flair for sexual sensationalism."
Financial Times
"Clever, witty and slyly provocative."
The Independent
"[A] tense and slippery new play."
The Stage
"This is a play full of pain, hard to watch and horribly compelling. Unmissable."
The Times
"Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily, than any other playwright of his generation."
Time Out
"The tense, timely new play by Mark Ravenhill raises incisive questions about injustice and reparation."
