Audience Reviews 

“felt as though you were watching a full cast of actors rather than one.” 

“such a sharp, and poignant piece that will stay in my mind” 

“laughing out loud as well as tearing up from how beautiful and complex the story was”

“Frances effortlessly captures the grief, love, family, trauma, coming of age. I felt as if I took a journey with Sinead and came out the other side with a sense of hope.”

“A beautifully written and incredibly captivating performance! I laughed (and cried) a lot, the play weaves the comedic side of tragedy throughout the story so gracefully, whilst also staying loyal to its painful depiction of familial grief.”
