‘..an enjoyable play by a clearly talented new writer who demonstrates poise and comic timing not often seen in such an early piece of work’ The Stage
‘It is rude, it is politically incorrect and it is very very funny…performed with such relish that the audience follows the occasional gasp with a roar of laughter’ – remotegoat |
