Reviews:
'Creepy and captivating... there is something utterly invigorating about Judd's writing: it is funny, delicate, assured, pleasurably circuitous... a truly exciting discovery with what feels like a quietly radical new form of genre-defying theatre' — Guardian.
'Engaging, empathetic and spooky, with a beautiful pattern of slow revelation... Papatango has once again identified a talent worth watching' — Evening Standard.
'A hauntingly beautiful drama of family secrets... has a strange, captivating power... lyrical and elegiac... Judd deftly uses the uncanny to tell a very human, very flesh-and-blood story... unsettling and rather beautiful' — The Stage.
'Full of humour and heart ... [Judd has] a great deal of writing talent' — Reviews Hub.
'Excellent... an absorbing and moving play that deals intelligently with ideas of memory, seen and unseen connections, and the difficulties of articulating feelings... highly recommended' —Everything Theatre
