Bold and bewitching take on Tennessee Williams...Femi Elufowoju Jr’s engaging production puts an African American family at its centre but misses some of the play’s quietly heart-wringing moments.'

This is a play about memory, though, and that often forgives. The family dynamics themselves are terrifyingly believable...it is Naima Swaleh, making her professional stage debut as Laura, who is the standout star.'
