What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Vibrant and very of-the-moment… no fancy tricks, no meta-theatrics, just human beings sorting out their chaotic tangles… emotional immediacy… constantly compelling, with a fine twist. An intriguing journey into the messiness of the human condition’
* Irish Independent *‘Humorous and compelling… a thoughtful examination of what it means to be neurodivergent in a world designed for the neurotypical’
* Irish Times *‘Enjoyable… a play rooted in dialogue and character… Characters are revealed slowly, through skilful, believable dialogue’
