Recenzii

[She's Leaving Home] prises open cracks in the ordinary...The terraced house in which we sit transforms into a magical realist world, sensitively realised under Julia Samuels's direction. Keith Saha's script catches the cadences of teenage speech, flecked with poetry...The setting beautifully amplifies the intimacy of our immersion in this life, but this production would succeed equally in other spaces. It certainly deserves a life beyond the festival.
"RARELY IS A PLAY SO FRESH SEEN ON THE LIVERPOOL STAGE. AN ABSOLUTE TRIUMPH. 10/10."
There is an attitude, a lyricism and a sharp observational humour in Saha's writing that you don't get to see and hear every day, and this play's ability to make you laugh one minute and be on the verge of tears the next is the mark of great theatre.
