★★★★ "Naylor has won widespread recognition on the Fringe for his well-justified obsession with the catastrophic conflicts that have spread across Iraq, Syria, Yemen and beyond" The Scotsman.

★★★★ "A riveting exploration of identity, idealism and heroism" The Sunday Times.

★★★★★ "Breathtaking and powerful, Henry Naylor's play is sharp, funny and poignant - a must see" Ed Fest Mag.
