Reviews / Votes
'Raw and real... a gritty and unsentimental story of a pained relationship' * Guardian * 'Electrifying... a tender story of sisterhood that unfolds across decades, this blistering family drama cuts to the heart of the powerful bonds of love and shared sorrow that bind families together... fast-paced and impactful... Moss' writing has a compact elegance. She tells us just enough for us to connect with - and feel deeply - the sisters' struggles... the dialogue is rich and realistic, layered with subtext, studded with revealing offhand remarks... a completely believable depiction of a sibling relationship under significant stress' * The Stage * 'A wonderful play... Chloe Moss writes phenomenal parts for women... they are drawn so well that their flaws resonate' * Reviews Hub * 'Sensational... A marvellously crafted story' * Everything Theatre *More details
