REVIEWS:
"A gripping drama... the moral questions raised deliver a punch in the age of austerity."
The Guardian
"Explores broader ideas such as our responsibilities towards others when money is short... there is a sharp, sardonic wit in the cut and thrust between the two characters."
BritishTheatre.com
"Engaging and entertaining."
