“… masterful direction … the casts’ acutely magnificent performance … the actors who provided an engrossing, consumate performance. This play belies its genre with moments of symbolism and seduce us to contemplate situations and emotions from which many of us are thankfully removed, the intricacy and delicacy of which is strengthened to invulnerable proportions thanks to the vitality of its portrayal."
– Steve Kretzmann, Critter
“Again, I take my hat off to Foot. She gets it, she truly, deeply, gets it across in this most excellent play … once you get into the meat of the story it grips you and takes you all the way.â€
- Tony Jackman, Daily Maverick
