Time Out London
September 18th, 2019

...these stories are worth telling because they’re good stories, ones that offer representation for a vast swathe of society that’s usually either untouched or sensationalised by theatre and film.'

The Arts Desk
September 18th, 2019

Rich in empathy, dramatically raw, Alexander Zeldin's bleak study of society on the edge...Zeldin’s honesty is such that he can’t give his characters 'voices' that they wouldn’t have in their real circumstances.'
