None of Us is Yet a Robot Reviews

'Emma Frankland's euphoric Rituals for Change is a near-perfect twinning of content and form. A hymn to mutability, an earthy, messy sacrament to constant evolution and alteration, it charts her gender transition in a series of gnomic, interlocking actions.' * * * * * The Stage

* The Stage *

'[Rituals for Change] is a private, beautiful, evocative piece of theatre. Tender, brave, and brilliant... It is storytelling at its simplest and bravest.' British Theatre Guide

* British Theatre Guide *

'A wonderful, warm contemplation on change.' Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
