Reviews

"McAuliffe proves herself a more than promising playwright. There's a touch of Alan Bennett in the spry wit - A longer life for the play looks a must - " 4 stars - Telegraph 'finely observed - strong and polished" - The Stage 'deeply moving and surprising' - What's On Stage 'interesting and quirky' - Independent"
