'A beautifully written and directed piece about memory, identity and relationships, performed by a talented and committed cast. Sensitive and courageous ensemble work enables multifaceted explorations of remembering and forgetting. Recommended.''
Cue, 2008

'A meditation on memory. Sometimes to forget is to have no roots; sometimes to remember is to have no future. Faultlessly performed, this poignant piece looks at remembering and forgetting in different life stories. The seemingly disparate threads are cleverly woven together.'
Cue, 2007
