'Compelling, thought
provoking and poignantly funny . . . This is upfront stuff,
tough in its telling and tragic in its humour . . . If you
missed it this time, catch it next.'
Carlisle Star
'. . . four superb
actresses kept us enthralled and highly amused.'
N.W.Evening Mail
'Cries out for
the adjective 'heart-warming', that doesn't diminish it's
power and wit. And it is witty!'
Northern Review, Newcastle upon Tyne
