Reviews

"Visually stunning"

Backstage

I really, really liked Sweeney Agonistes...with a wonderful performance by Julia Martin."

Hi! Drama,

"adventurous ... unflaggingly inventive and sharply acted...[The Rock's] lovely candle-lit ending hauntingly evokes...the dramatist's quest for an authentic spiritual life"
