'Startlingly intense'
**** Evening Standard'Chappell writes with a rare mix of beauty and brutality... An original, though-provoking and exciting piece of new writing'
Aleks Sierz, The Stage'Jennifer Lim is highly impressive as Miso, Mo Zainal astutely suggests her brother is defined by his actions... and there is valiant support from Matthew Marsh as the debauched hotelier.'
