“…it packs a surprisingly powerful punch… brave….theatrical genre-busting…” The Scotsman
“…quite possibly the most subversive thing to have graced the Perth stage… double bluffs its audience with the sort of stiff upper-lipped glimpse into the private habits of a bunged up little nation… Such elegantly euphemistic reserve draws from Terrence Rattigan, while Ben’s cuckoo-in-the-nest routine is borne of everything from Six Degrees of Separation and Pinter’s No Man’s Land to the murder of Stephen Lawrence. It would be easy for TV faces Rula Lenska and Nicholas Bailey to camp it up as Stella and Ben….That Ken Alexander’s production plays it so straight makes the ruling class look even uglier.” – Perth TheatreThe Herald
