The London Evening Standard
December 11th, 2019

At its best it is a fine, consciousness-expanding example of this year’s trend for fashioning wise new plays out of classics. The acting is top-notch. But I wish director Nadia Fall had reined in Ellams’s excesses...'

...a superb adaptation of Three Sisters set amid Nigeria’s civil war, one which brilliantly fuses the personal and political...also confirms Ellams as one of our most exciting, insightful playwrights.'

Uneven and overlong production that struggles to find the right tone...There are some touchingly wistful moments... All in all, though, it is an evening of missed opportunities.'

December 11th, 2019

There’s something incredibly powerful about seeing elements of Nigerian culture and heritage represented in Ellams’ stirring adaptation...The performances in Nadia Fall’s compelling production are uniformly excellent.'
