"Through acting, story-telling humour and music the four strong cast takes us on an enthralling journey in a production that is utterly captivating. A remarkable creation from Charles Way."- The Stage

"Way’s storytelling style is always at its most interesting and playful when it questions the nature of the story itself, and the opportunities that the teller has to manipulate the narrative."- The Guardian
