[Norris] is an authentic new voice.
Four stars - Guardian
Barney Norris's first full-length play is astonishingly accomplished. Norris is a perceptive and humane craftsman...he has created an aching love story. He is a talent to watch.
Five stars - Evening Standard
...an absolute beauty, by turns funny, tender and desperately sad. There is great richness and an almost poetic resonance in the writing so that we can almost see the play of light across their fields and apprehend the jolting dislocation of dementia. It is much harder to write interestingly about happiness than it is about misery, but Norris often does just that.
Four stars - Telegraph
It's a hefty subject - the way dementia destroys people's minds and families - but Norris's excellent play deals with it with surprising lightness of touch and humour.
Time Out London
A tender, elegiac, beautifully written and observed play
Mail on Sunday
