Dealing with Clair

'Ingenious... truly timeless... Crimp is brilliant at showing how language can camouflage people's baser actions... a fiendishly clever play'

'Without ever straying from the naturalistic and while often being extremely funny, Crimp exposes the couple's evasions with the accuracy of a butterfly collector pinning down his specimens... a resonant and powerful play'

'A bleakly amusing, incrementally disquieting drama... deploys a Pinter-esque enigma and abstraction to take on a culture of quick bucks and soulless transactions'

'A very darkly comic and contemporary story... a bleakly accurate social commentary that both amuses and disturbs'

'Chilly and clever, perceptive about the hollow language of greed and suburban conformism... a disquieting experience'

'Chilling stuff… zeroes in, with unnerving accuracy, on the deeply unlikeable aspects of ordinary people'

'A skilfully written, well-crafted exposition of the horrors just beneath the civilised surface of our lives; it is at once a delicious satire on yuppie moral and emotional bankruptcy and a bleak, black comedy thriller'
