REVIEW EXTRACTS
Like all Crouch's shows, it burns with the desire to provoke as it explores not just the nature of theatre but the way we live now, in a world where commerce knows no borders.
The Guardian (ENGLAND)
Crouch's wonderful text begins to reveal layer after layer of poetic depth; not only as a study of basic global injustice, but also as a reflection on an idea of national identity, character and history - of Englishness itself.
The Scotsman (ENGLAND)
Vividly celebrates the live, raw, communal experience of theatre.
Financial Times (An Oak Tree)
