REVIEW EXTRACTS
Entirely itself in its urge to find a new, expressive language.
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
Press seamlessly blends contemporary dance with physical comedy to create a show that is at once laugh-out-loud funny, tragic, breathtaking and hugely uplifting.
Andrew Haydon, Time Out
Under Natalie Abrahami and Carrie Cracknell this 70 seater theatre is suddenly out there in the vanguard of all that is exciting, explosive and invigorating in British theatre. It has become a place of possibilities.
Lyn Gardner
