Media

“Intense, compelling and intimate.” — The Irish Times
“Thoughtful play... Coffey’s script quietly displays the connections which bind these disparate individuals together. The play is a valuable piece of theatre created from the everyday lives of individuals whose ability to cope has been compromised. At all times the problems that each individual has to contend with seem both commonplace and mountainous.” — No More Workhouse
