Reviews
“It is theatre of this nature and calibre that will remind you why the industry exists and why you are at an arts festival watching plays. This is an unequivocal ten out ten.”
Robyn Sassen, Cue Newspaper
“Witty, charming and well acted. Very entertaining, with a provocative theme. Convincing period sets and costumes. Thoroughly enjoyable!”
JH, Cue
