random Reviews

'Remarkable... gets right inside the characters, capturing the sudden devastation in their lives, the unbearable sense of loss... the writing seems to penetrate the very heart of grief... whisks the audience from laughter to comfortless sorrow in less than an hour'

* Telegraph *

'A poet's feel for rhythm, a keen ear for urban patois, and the knack of telling a story elliptically, with vivid flecks of detail'

* Independent *

'debbie tucker green's writing is so raw and immediate that it can feel as if she's hacking into your heart with a rusty tin opener'
