'But that's what this is, isn't it? The ultimate bitch fight.'
'A smart, prickly and rewarding view of sexual and emotional confusion... The writing is lubricious, sometimes grubby and in places savagely unpleasant. But it has a wounding authenticity'
Evening Standard'Mike Bartlett's play is a sharp, witty study of a man helplessly torn between his longtime male partner and a loving woman'
Guardian'Brutally exposes the lies and compromises we're prepared to swallow to get what we think we need... it still draws blood'
iNews'Incendiary... a brilliant black comedy'
Broadway World'Brutal, bruising and brilliant'
