Reviews

Royal Court Theatre - 'Really enjoyed the theatrical ambition of the play and the way in which the layers of meta-theatricality are revealed to us an audience. Even in its most humorous and absurd moments, Cate Blanchett is an effective cipher with which to explore Nina’s insecurities and desire for importance alongside the other, subtler ways these ideas manifest in the play. I particularly enjoyed the moment where Nina hides behind The Writer'. It was a letter I received from the Royal Court Theatre

Kate Gaul - 'There’s an underlying intelligence and curiosity in the work and a foundation of literary knowledge from where her imagination can take root'. It was a letter of support I received from Kate Gaul

Elbow Room - 'We were particularly impressed by its boldness - both in its theatrical vision, and its meta-theatrical ambition'. It was an email I received
