"The dialogue interplay is delivered crisply enough and presented on a cleverly lit and snappily designed set — Joseph Ed Thomas and David Shields, working wonders..."

"There is much to praise in this production. David Shields’ wonderful set makes fantastic use of George Reeve’s video design – worth taking your seat early just to read up on conversion therapy techniques – and along with the lighting and sound, Joseph Ed Thomas and Paul Gavin respectively, creates the two locations used for the story and gives Director Gene David Kirk a lot of scope to bring every aspect of it to life."

"The other strong aspect in Gene David Kirk’s pacily directed production is the various design elements which combine to create what appears to be an impenetrable bunker (David Shields). The immersive sound and lighting (Paul Gavin and Joseph Ed Thomas) create an electric atmosphere and are actually added to by the ominous sound of (real) trains rumbling overhead. Above all the brilliant video work by George Reeve."
