“It is one of Brandstrup’s subtlest achievements”.
David Dougill, The Sunday Times
"Its choreography actually combines a very Dostoyevskian intensity with the vividly specific physical personalities of its three superb dancers. The result, though spare, is engrossingly dramatic." “[Kim Brandstrup’s] best work to date for the British stage”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian
