“Visionary and magical” - The Telegraph

“I honestly love this knotty Beckett shit. It’s dark as a bat’s eyeballs but it tells you the truth about what it means to be alive.” - Huffington Post

'Huffington Post: 2015's Best Theatre'
“E.V. Crowe's play was like a beautiful hymn that you thought you'd never heard but actually somehow you knew all the words to. It wasn't like watching something, it was like being inside something. Maybe this is what it feels like for people who actually know how to do meditation. You feel like you've spent an hour watching nothing, and then you realize that you have in fact learned this weird dark secret about the human condition.” - Jessie Thompson

“Caitlin McLeod’s production plays intriguing games with reality...Alison O’Donnell and Jack Tarlton perform excellently” - The Guardian

“EV Crowe has won awards aplenty for her work and it’s easy to see why: her writing is intense, probing and almost perversely unknowable’...Beckett definitely haunts EV Crowe’s searching new play...properly intriguing” - Time Out
