A must see! Excellent! The actors brilliantly portrayed a story which provoked many emotions. A hundred minute rollercoaster ride that makes you laugh, cry and acknowledge the void between generations, which collectively must be filled.

Brilliant play and brilliant acting Lobed the show as story line was pigsty and the acting particularly of the main actress was outstanding . One of the best plays i have seen

Outstanding acting performances This is a very witty and powerful production and script expertly portrayed by the wonderful cast.
Very relevant for parents today but more than that it was pure entertainment with a rollercoaster of emotions.
Outstanding- brilliant- compelling- slick -professional- entertaining- emotional - you have to see it whilst you can!

Totally engaging and thought provoking! Glad the topic of rape was approached from
a different angle to Jodie Comer’s Prema Facia, ie the perspective of the mother of a perpatrator. It showed the dilemma of a parent when their teenager makes a big mistake.

Magnificent Hard hitting, real. It took at least an hour to recover- I’ll never forget this play.
CORA, 10 May 2026
A tour de force performance in a tour do force show Fast paced, covers a gamut of issues relating to being a female Judge married with a son, superbly told with a mixture of humour and compassion. The number of props, cupboards, costume changes on stage were legion, slickly handled by the actors and ingeniously designed adding greatly to overall wow factor of the storytelling. Arrive in good time as there is no interval and you do not want to miss a minute. Latecomers were admitted but well into the story.

Tour de force Stunning performance from RP…the best I have seen since Peter O ‘Toole in Geoff Bernard etc
Ronald, 27 Mar 2026
Challenging and thought-provoking A good exploration of the juxtaposition of the female/male, mother/father, professional/personal perspectives of adolescents’ behaviour, the boundaries that are crossed and the consequences of them to the broader family as well as the individuals concerned.
Rebecca, 26 Mar 2026
Compelling from start to finish A riveting fast moving clever play with a fascinating storyline and an impressive Rosamund Pike performance.

Inter Alia We saw the understudy and she was superb. Whoever is starring, come prepared to be carried along- and bawl your eyes out. No spoilers.

Unmissable theatre experience A powerful portrayal of a family in crisis and how life’s priorities can irrevocably change. Phenomenal acting does justice to the superb script. Unmissable theatre.
