Invigorating and thought-provoking
The Telegraph
-
There's much here that justifies Williams's growing reputation as a terrific dramatist. He's sharp, he's funny, he writes cracking dialogue.
The Times
-
Williams' dialogue ricochets around the stage like gunfire ... energetic, exciting and entertaining.
The Stage
-
Roy Williams is one of the few younger British playwrights working today who could be described as indispensable ... the most authoritative commentator on the vexed business of race and identity in modern Britain.
Daily Telegraph
-
This is a tough, moving play, the work of a ruthless conscience.
Sunday Times
