'If there's something stirring in new theatre from the North of England, then the Ashton Group from Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria must be one of the more exciting elements in that change'. The Scotsman

'. . . had the audience spellbound. . . a beautiful work of art.'
North West Evening Mail

'A gripping piece of theatre with humour, pathos, and careful observation. The Ashton Group is a real emerging talent in the North and the partnership with writer Peter Straughan for Cold has produced touring theatre of real quality. '
