Press Reviews

"With delicious absurd extracts from the heroic repertory and frantic dressing room scenes, the prevailing tone is comic but you are not allowed to forget the gutter waiting to reclaim these glittering figures."

— Independent on Sunday

"Flesh and blood heroines...move and inspire...a few more female role models stamped firmly on your heart."

— Time Out

"An immense talent and witty sensitive dialogue...Thoroughly entertaining."

— Tribune
