“A 10-strong ensemble from Heartstring Theatre, directed by Katie Smith, do a mighty job with the material. The riveting performances are dramatic and explosive.”
The Blurb
“The use of a traverse stage is filled with risks, and was a bold choice by Smith. […] Smith’s blocking was […] right on the money.”
Theatre Travels
“Alice Birch is a stage director’s dream. Or nightmare. It depends on competence and confidence! And a fair bit of vision. […] Katie Smith’s production fields a cast of ten, which is bloody remarkable for an independent, unfunded company. […] It is impressively acted and thoroughly rehearsed. It’s definitely worth seeing.”
