REVIEW EXTRACTS
This drama of young lives gone haywire…is almost whispered in your ear…a breathless drama directed with finesse.
The New York Times (Yellow Moon)
Potent storytelling…achingly lovely fairytale harmonies.
The Herald **** (Liar)
Beautifully acted…a miraculous mixture of looming tragedy, wry social comedy, magical teenage romance, and profoundly serious redemption myth… a masterclass in how theatre can create whole worlds using only words, light, music and pure acting skill.
