Review Quotes: "acerbic and clever, gutsy and genuinely felt"-- Exuent Magazine
"irresistible... a fast, funny and achingly hip production" --The Times "A sharply satirical play... Knowing something about Chekhov and his work adds a layer of poignancy to proceedings, but even if you've never heard of the playwright there is much to enjoy as he plunges into a London peopled by sex traffickers, cynical fashionistas, bamboozling feng shui experts, survivor self-help groups spouting therapy-speak and restaurants serving food that doesn't look or taste like anything your gran would recognise." --Lyn Gardner, Guardian "A bittersweet piece blending the famous Russian writer's history and works with a wry treatise on fickle 21st century Britain. Interesting, frustrating, quirky and funny." --Karen Bussell, What's On Stage "droll and original...this whistle-stop tour of our grab-it-and-go world is sharp and sad, and performed with brio by the versatile cast." --Financial Times
