'Beautifully paced and engaging theatre...an imaginative and immersive adaptation, directed with skill and style.'
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
'Abrahams is proving a memorable director with his never ending ability to surprise...Nabben inhabits her role with a fearless intensity, I defy anyone not to be mesmerized by her...also astounding is Marta Kazcmarek...a production that must be said to be one of the most unmissable playing now.'
Robert Chuter, ArtsHub
'A beautiful adaptation, with all the colour and energy of the novel, but reimagined as pure drama. Abrahams is a writer who can stand with the best we have.'
Andrew Furhmann, Crikey
