We need writers such as Ridley to take us to these dark crevasses of experience . . . it all remains with you like a vivid hallucination

The Arts Desk

No one captures pain, violence and the misery of love gone wrong quite like Philip Ridley

Telegraph

Flawless script . . . his writing is second to none . . . it's breathtaking

Female Arts

Ridley, as ever a master of lyrical unpleasantness, who here creates a picture of innocence corrupted . . . This is lacerating excruciating theatre, which leaves the audience exhausted and speechless

Evening Standard

There is grit flecked with sparkle and punishing bleakness with a hint of magic . . . When it comes to oddly exquisite horror, no one does it better
