'...Finlayson's play...presents us with fascinating glimpses and numerous crisply witty lines. She creates dialogue appropriate to the eight real and variously well-known characters, Ï and Gregory Hersov's cast bring them to vivid life...Hersov's handling of the pace, breadth and tone of the scenes is sure and inventive. At the end the audience clapped for a long time.'
Jeremy Kingston The Times

'...a fine performance from Lisa Eichhorn as Monroe: her performance transcends mere impersonation to convey a sense of damaged innocence.'
Michael Billington The Guardian
