Superb acting, impeccable timing, a brilliant combination of psychological tension with comic release. - Patrick McDonald, The Advertiser
This excellent new English play from the Edinburgh Fringe... this is undoubtedly a highlight... - Murray Bramwell, InReview (InDaily)
Crisply directed by Sean Turner, Alex Hill’s engaging, upbeat portrayal of a London lad is inflected with pathos and unease from the outset. - Murray Bramwell, InDaily
