Critic Reviews

“This is another smart and finely wrought consideration of parenthood, further proof of Donoghue’s significant skill as an author.” (The Observer - The New Review)

Heart breaking
Emma Donoghue does such a good job at developing the characters and I found myself caught up on their tragic and compelling lives. A great production with overall good performance.
