'An intimate ensemble piece combining Edwardian drawing room comedy with the psychological nuance of Chekov...directed with acute theatrical intelligence and sensibility'
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
'What makes Abrahams work stand out so sharply is a theatrical commitment to something deeply unfashionable in contemporary theatre- the romantic. The work induces a sense of giddy intoxication...re-awakens the possibility of a post-ironic theatre.'
John Bailey, RealTime
