"Director Stephen Glover takes a complex and darkly comic tale on a suitably surreal flight of fancy...a hilariously volatile and gory story."  **** What's On Stage

"Stephen Glover’s direction keeps the visual gags coming thick and fast...ambitious, polished and a joy to see. Top fringe theatre." **** Fringe Review

"Ably directed by Stephen Glover, this play is a black comedy as masterful and surreal as any of Joe Orton’s." **** Totally Theatre

"There's no shortage of subversive humour in Stephen Glover's well-executed production." *** Time Out
