Reviews:
This is that genuinely rare beast, a popular comedy with heart, brains and the stomach to make some difficult choices. Sarah Esdaile's production keeps things motoring nicely…
Guardian ***
"haunting" "beautiful"—
The Stage
"intimate and charming...zingy...charmingly quirky"—
Music OMH
"a brisk drama (or brisket drama?) which is a blend of Arnold Wesker and Hollyoaks...Cling To Me Like Ivy certainly clings to the memory. Not a drama that is hair today and gone tomorrow"—
