Revue de presse

One of those rare, shiver making instances in which language seems to become truly physical. -- New York Times

Grabs you by the collar and head-butts you into submission. --Guardian

Mesmerising... funny, tragic, shocking and disturbing in turn. --Scotsman

This one hander hits you like a machine gun of words and language... draws you into the world of the characters who are racing towards tragedy at break-neck speed [and] spirits you away to one of the darkest places you'll find. --Irish Times
