REVIEWS:
"Hale's skilled use of language and razor-sharp writing captures [her character's] defiance, his humour and his take on the world with vivid intensity… filled with heart, compassion and fury."
LondonTheatre1
"Hale finds energetic rhythm in effervescent South London slang… the writing has authenticity."
The Stage
"Damn this play is good… Hale captures the rhythms of south London slang that have been underappreciated for its musicality and comic potential."
