“Tass and her cast get so much right…Ben Prendergast is delightful…
Eva Seymour is as perfect a Sonya as you could hope to find: passionately resigned, sad-eyed, downtrodden but indestructible.”
– The Australian -
“The cast is unanimously stellar…a rare combo: a superbly skilled performance that is technically accomplished, emotionally alert, intellectually and historically informed while also relevant to the now.”
★★★★ 1/2
- The Music -
“Very funny…whimsy and farce tinged with cynicism.”
– Herald Sun -
