Reviews

Not for the faint hearted, but essential to anyone who wants to consider what crimes may be being committed in the name of 'security.' * Oxford Times *
A richly imaginative, darkly witty and at times unsettling experience. * Exeunt *
A surreal, disquieting interrogation. * Stage *

An intriguing proposition, a riddle to solve with echoes of Harold Pinter's 'The Hothouse'. * Time Out *
