REVIEWS

“Michael Gieleta's production is beautifully judged and cast “

“Michael Gieleta's revival of the play…transferred seamlessly to the stage, makes a virtue of the cramped space.”

“originally a radio play…the production is so well staged that there are no odd moments where this lineage becomes apparent ….witty and stylish production.“

“genuinely stretches the mind“

“things settle pleasingly into focus in Michael Gieleta’s slick production.“
