"Fearless in its attempt to broach the subject of mental health and using non-naturalistic techniques to denote the universal susceptibility of self-doubt." BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
“The piece is inventive – and takes the risks that bold theatre-making requires.” ONCE A WEEK THEATRE
“One of the first shows to push the boundaries of what the spectrum of mental health consists of.” THE UPCOMING
“An unusual production, and one that explores neurodiversity…with significant creativity.” LONDON THEATRE 1
