Reviews

We've had songs for swinging lovers but surprisingly few plays about urban swingers. Now Michael Kingsbury, who directed Round the Horne Revisited, fills the gap with a deft social comedy -- Michael Billington * Guardian (on the 2006 production at the Finborough) *
Michael Kingsburys erotic comedy ends the Finboroughs new British plays season with the promise of an evening of sophisticated entertainment -- John Thaxter * British Theatre Guide (on the 2006 production at the Finborough) *
This play exemplifies why the London Fringe is a rich resource to be enjoyed and treasured . . . Fresh, brilliantly written and beautifully acted. * Whatsonstage.com (on the 2006 production at the Finborough) *
The build up of tension and anticipation is utter genius . . . A fun and fearless play. * West End Frame *
Kingsburys dialogue is smart, subtle and sure of itself * Time Out *
Simple and believable and plotted with wit and acuity by playwright Michael Kingsbury. * Spectator *
