“I thought it was a really powerful and thought-provoking piece. Excellent performances by both actors made it very gripping too.”

“Having both actors play the counsellor was much more effective than I thought it was going to be. Just having two actors added to the intimacy of the experience of exploring a relationship between two people. …. The ending had emotional impact for me, having got to know the two characters and understand their perspectives. The impending marital split which was suggested was a natural consequence of the preceding 'failure to connect'  “

“Those two characters ‘felt’ right.  They convinced me that these changes of agenda could happen. Until I thought about this after seeing the play I would have argued that people don’t move from a liberal standpoint to one which they would have deemed constricting and demanding….. Set the way you have, I get it.”

“I so admire it as a piece of work....important, sensitively and intelligently written and as I said to you on Thursday, it is a tragic love story together with all the other levels and themes that resonate.....I did at one point feel a tear in the eye....who me???? I love and admire how you have developed and worked and worked on it.....something rare happened to me during reading....I wanted to be directing it in a rehearsal room.....so engaged and excited by the text.....”:
