Financial Times
<p>'Magnificently confirms McCafferty's promise. This stirringly ambitious piece is an epic that attempts to put the whole of life on stage - birth, death, love, sex, work, families, the whole damn thing. McCafferty is a writer of depth and subtlety, as well as palpable humanity, and constantly confounds the audience's expectations. His characterisation is detailed, vivid and unpredictable, his dialogue pungent, and the piece constantly combines raw drama with quirky humour'</p>
Daily Telegraph
<p>'Bathes us in loneliness and violence, foreboding and post-funeral drunkenness, aggression and marital disarray, not to mention teenage sex play for light comic relief... he infuses painful encounters with an authentic sense of pain and regret'</p>
