"Genius...wonderfully intimate theatrical experience"

Lynn Freeman, Capital Times

"A work of extraordinary wit, perspicacity and humanity...Book now: don't miss it"

John Smythe, Theatreview

"Overall I can't put it better than to say I loved it...for those who miss the intimacy of this first production in Eli's bedroom, you are probably missing the highlight of the Fringe"
