“Electric to watch. It was an enjoyable production from start to finish watching Lali lose herself to her madness and how the Bamford family reacted, slowly unravelling themselves too. ★★★★★”
“It’s staging and storytelling is rich and vivid. Lit with warm hues from Lucy Adams, which illuminate Lali’s childhood anecdotes, there’s a lot to like about how the production is put together. ★★★★ ”
“Jet black wit and pin sharp writing. This one person show is deliciously dark and channels Moira Buffini at her best with surreal asides and deadpan writing prowess. ★★★★”
