Jewish Chronicle
“Wonderful bold adaptation.”
Mariel Hemingway
“imaginative… steamy… succeeds in creating danger and excitement of
[Hemingway's] adorned bullfights…
Taylor is febrile and luminous.”
The Sunday Times
“… turn[s] Hemingway’s account of the Lost Generation into the Lust Generation… makes you re-examine one of the finest novels of the last century… a lively evening… [Taylor] brings a fierce romantic longing and lack of physical inhibition to the role…"
The Guardian
“… subverts much of what we think we know about the characters... Josie Taylor is a perfect combination of wit and charm, with a terrible desperation evident just below the surface…”
The Stage
“…atmospheric, energetic… nicely ribald visual gags… you might just find yourself tapping along…”
Time Out
“irresistible… leaves its audience thirsty for more… Gideon Turner is a commanding stage presence…
ignites the intimate space of Trafalgar Studios"
★★★★
Exeunt Magazine
“truly gripping story… stylish… Deceptively simple, the real power of the play lies in its sophisticated portrayal of human feelings… an exuberant play and an excellent adaptation…”
