'Director Gregory Hersov has skilfully paced the production to capitalise on the humour, which is at times snappy and at others as measured and pregnant as a Mississippi drawl. The production is a triumph for the three main actresses - Alison Peebles as Lenny, Lesley Sharp as Meg and Robin Weaver as Babe - who sparkle together.'
Alex Lindsay Sunday Express

'The playing by all three women and Michael Packer as Meg's former boyfriend and Jonathan Weir as Babe's lawyer was first rate...It's as good a production as you'd get at the National or the RSC.'
Robin Thornber The Guardian
