ACCLAIM

"...drops a bomb on comfortable coupled life...thought-provoking...moments of pathos...poignant...humour is never far away...easy for the audience to see themselves and their friends in these characters...succeeds by engaging and provoking."  Patricia Maunder, Limelight Magazine

"...glittering comedy...takes a swing at everything in range...clear-eyed...slyly revealed...crackles...strong..."  Chris Boyd, The Australian

"...savage wit...whips along on the strength of zingy one-liners...thoroughly reliable, perfectly distracting entertainment...Australia's most popular playwright..." Tim Byrne, TimeOut Australia

"...a nerve has been touched...cool and even-handed...no one escapes unscathed...energetic...physical...ticking time bombs...alliances shift...very funny play...far more punchy and effective than a solemn weepie in delivering its truths...the laughs are constant...this play will travel..."  Michael Brindley, StageWhispers.com.au

"...sharp social observation...razor-edged comedy...sophisticated and acerbic...one of Australia's most nationally and internationally acclaimed playwrights..."  ArtsReview.com.au

"Murray-Smith is an expert at what she does...very hard to fault her craftsmanship...plenty of wit...nifty zingers...bright, nimble humour..." Maxim Boon, TheMusic.com-au
