Critical comment:-
The Audition: "A chilling and mesmerising piece." (Joan
Bakewell, Sunday Times)
After the Rain: "Absorbing and amusing and very
cranky." (The Times)
The New Europe: "A timely jeu d'esprit about the
state of the European Union" (Time Out)
Ay, Carmela: "A rich cocktail of verse, prose, singing and
dancing" (The Stage)
