Trade Review[A] monologue that scarily and effectively shows how life can be shattered by public vilification, however unearned * Stage *
Whatever the situation, it’s never fully revealed – the focus isn’t important in Martin Murphy’s writing, merely the emotion and the maelstrom that surrounds the detail. The moment itself is fleeting; the effect everlasting...Murphy’s show effortlessly proves that even the noblest of intentions can throw good people into the harsh realities of society * A Younger Theatre *
I thoroughly recommend this play. ***** * one4review.co.uk *
Engaging, provocative and insightful. 4.5 stars * The Fountain *
