The Stage
Heather Neill
“Full marks to Osborne for tackling a big subject, the mystery of death, the transformation - both cynical and sentimental - of murder victims into angels, and their families into celebrities. He has pertinent - and sometimes funny - things to say.”

The Daily Telegraph
Daisy Bowie-Sell
“The dead boy, like a ghost, haunts the father, but having him burst out of kitchen cupboards for flashbacks feels more in tune with a children’s magic show than a play about death. It’s a problem with the production as a whole – none of the cast or production team have quite decided what exactly they are trying to achieve.”

The Guardian
Lyn Gardner
“Young playwrights learn by having their work staged, but it can be exposing, too, and it is here that the production fails to copes with the unevenness in tone. Sometimes it feels like gothic comedy, at others it takes a turn for the surreal or falls back on naturalism. The uncertainty is reflected in the acting, too.”
