PRESS RESPONSES

‘a rich stew of a show that has the steamy stench of a dark Jacobean comedy... hilarious, excoriating and intensely moving’ The Guardian

‘an astonishingly well-judged performance… sometimes shocking, sometimes funny, and always delivered with compelling vividness’ Time Out

‘riotously funny… an observant writer and a compelling performer’ Daily Telegraph

4 Stars ‘sad, grotesque and beautiful… camp and earthy, self-mocking, surreal… and then cutting across our laughter with a series of lurching silences that gradually lead down into real horror’ The Scotsman

‘Sisters, Such Devoted Sisters it had such a strong effect on an opening night audience that to man, woman and transsexual we were reluctant to leave the theatre. This is simply a superbly grafted piece of bleak theatre guaranteed to get under the skin. Glasgow belongs to Bernice… she tells of days and nights that are dark, disturbing and very, very funny. Moments of pure comedic bliss worthy of a belly laugh are followed in a blink by shock-value stunners… The script is Barr’s debut, yet its masterful grasp of character and pure spirit of storytelling are marks of a maturity worth watching for’ Vancouver Sun

Critics Choice ‘vivid and compelling’ Independent

‘powerful, tragic and funny… Blackly comic and touching, a totally captivating hour of theatre that will stay with you long after the applause is done’ Scotsgay
