Trade Review
'Nagy's adaptation is dreamlike; scenes blur, and the players in Ripley's psychotic game - all of them, as far as he's concerned, dispensable - loom like grotesque caricatures.' Sam Marlowe, The Times, 22.9.10 'it often feels as if there is a tension in Phyllis Nagy's hugely intelligent adaptation between the mechanics of murder and the metaphysics.' Lyn Gardner, Guardian, 23.9.10 'The play [...] is cunningly planned, with details accruing until we realise taht the whole thing is taking place in Ripley's mind's eye.' Maxie Szalwinska, Sunday Times, 3.10.10
