Review by Belinda Cullen-Reid for Backstage Christchurch
Review by Erin Harrington for Flat City Field Notes
A play that goes deep into a heart of darkness and lights it up with warmth and compassion…. In case this all sounds like too much angst, the play is sprinkled with funny, silly and endearing bonding moments between characters, the little things that happen even when a family is at odds. –Manawatu Standard
