REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Marvellously atmospheric… beautifully orchestrated production regularly punctuated by handsome sepia-toned film sequences… akin to being inside a dark, dreamy film…. sublime.' The Times (Don’t Look Back)

'Thrilling production… Sharps' and team have done the Russian master proud.' Evening Standard (Underground)

'I've rarely felt so involved in a promenade piece, nor so moved, excited or frightened...Brighton-based dreamthinkspeak have here confirmed their reputation as one of Britain's most fascinating theatre groups.' The Scotsman (Don’t Look Back)
