“. . . To the final, wrenching, reversal of the roles of father/daughter and the ultimately unbearable last plea in the arms of his nurse this is a magnificent performance (I weep now at its recall). If Mr. Cranham wants to play Lear this is his calling card . . . The Ustinov continues to produce theatre, which by any standard is of the highest order and in this gem of a play has dealt a full hand of relevant, entertaining and moving. “

“…This is a bitter comedy about tradition, culture and identity, but what sets it apart from the usual fare of young adults looking to set their own cultural agenda is that it is not inter-generational. The two main combatants in the battle of minds and wills are cousins of the same age…What lifts this play from worthy mediocrity is the passion of the characters. No holds are barred, as perceived faults are vitriolically dredged up. In this the author is well served by a strong cast and sure handed directing….With this powerful comedy the Ustinov has scored again with a play of substance and quality.”

“…is an intimate play. It concerns the private and personal texture of the inner lives of those caught up in and in their turn fuelling, the grand sweep of history… Tanya Moodie is unquestionably an actress of the first water and her performance alone is worth the price of a ticket.”
