"...fifty years old this summer, the play is still full of life, and in James Maxwell's produ ction a cast dedicated to alert character-acting makes this eerie little dance across the gap between two worlds look as fresh and stringent as ever."
Grevel Lindop The Times Literary Supplement

"...elegantly nonsensical comedy becomes more and more diverting as the evening goes on...we returned at the first interval convinced...that we were enjoying ourselves...Miranda Foster...is superbly costumed by Phoebe de Gaye in skintight silvery-white from top to toe...Vince Herbert's lighting complements th ze effect with great skill...the special effects department...have their remarkable last word in what has been an enlivening evening."
Jeffrey Wainwright The Independent
