The Stage
Natasha Tripney
“The satirical bite of the play is sometimes blunter than it might be but Hunter is, as ever, a captivating and utterly convincing stage presence and the cross-gender casting ... often heightens the horror of the situation making for a production that is by turns repellent and compelling.”

Lyn Gardner
“The entire tone of the piece is feverish, too, and even if the production fails to make the shift from high comedy to grim tragedy, it's still [a] visually arresting and unsettling.”
