Reviews:
★★★★½ “Under Jeneffa Soldatic’s direction (for National Theatre of Parramatta), there’s a deep truth between these two actors …”
“Melanie Liertz’s set, Rita Naidu’s costumes, Daniel Herten’s music and Jasmine Rizk’s lighting all contribute, without distracting us from two of the performances of the year..”

“Director Jeneffa Soldatic connects the audience with the storytelling so well. Although plenty gets said via dialogue, much of the messaging is through body language, expressions and actions.” - Absolute Theatre.
★★★★ “The two performances are excellent – Camila Ponte Alvarez as Lucia and Caspar Hardaker as Abel inhabit their roles so completely and in Alvarez’s case, so fiercely, that the audience is completely drawn into their encounters.” - Theatre Now
★★★★ An insightful drama with comedy brought vividly to life. - Sydney Arts Guide
