What the critics had to say.....
NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Beautifully acted and modulated production." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Although the play climaxes in a welter of revelations, it has dramatic impetus and universal relevance...Richly eloquent new play" BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "The characters are strongly drawn, the dialogue often sharp and funny." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Clearly heartfelt but somewhat creaky piece exploring the broader issue of black identity."
