***** The Guardian
“Caroline Steinbeis’ spare and brutally bleak rendering is
made of tough and steely stuff, forged in domestic hell. She makes every cut
deep. Pitilessly compelling.”

“Under Caroline Steinbeis’
inspired direction, every member of the cast finds depth of characterisation,
passionate involvement in moments of confrontation and calmness in quieter
exchanges.
Everything about this production is impressive. Perfect casting.”

Everything about this production is impressive. Perfect casting.”
British Theatre Guide
“Steinbeis makes it both
possible to appreciate what an insightful piece of writing this is and why it
might appeal to a modern audience. Her production allows the play to sing. It’s
incredibly sharp on the entanglement of the male ego and the machinery of
capitalism, the poison of the patriarchy.”
