"the play...has an attractive wisdom and a marvellous command of a West Indian patois that is rich, rough and comically rude."
Claire Armitstead Financial Times

"...James Maxwell's production coaxes energetic performances from the two players...Eddie Osei combines power, pathos and memory as Sidney. As the boy, Charlie Caine is intelligent and sensitive...
Martin Hoyle The Times

"...Randhi McWilliams's play is an astonishingly gentle and forgiving account of the black experience of Britain...It's a multi-layered piece...McWillia +ms's characters have an endearing habit of soliloquising which James Maxwell's production handles well."
Robin Thornber The Guardian
