Reviews

★★★★ "Engaging"
"Thoughtful script and direction by Alex Howarth"
"Brain is simply phenomenal as Cassie... The intense affection of Cassie's gaze is something any one of us would be lucky to absorb."
– NY Stage Review

"A captivating portrayal of sisterhood"
"Unique, entertaining, and poignant"
"A wonderful depiction of how sisters hold each other dear in difficult circumstances."
– BroadwayWorld

"Fantasy-filled and emotion-and-guilt-fraught world of three sisters in foster care"
"The production’s powerful impact is largely due to the authenticity of its actors, and the tragic, universal reality that the outcomes of foster care, no matter where they occur, are unpredictable at best."– OffOffOnline

★★★★ "Glows in the darkness.. a thoughtful, warm, moving hour that will leave you wanting to call whoever you think of as family" – The Guardian

★★★★ "Bursts with life and quirkily observed truths" – Lyn Gardner, The Stage

"Top Shows of Edinburgh Fringe" –The Stage

Nominated for the BBC Writer's Room Popcorn Award
