Review Quotes

"It challenges the patriarchal assumptions of the playwright's tragic trilogy. It dispenses with staging conventions. Yet this is not destruction but revelation. You can almost see the dust flying off the old master. No. 1 Play of 2015." --The Observer

"What a piece of theatre this is... Calchas says of the play: ''this has all happened before, and more than once''. But not with this theatrical potency, not in my lifetime, I don't think.' No. 1 Play of 2015." --Time Out
