<p>'Compelling and subtle... allows the audience to make up its own mind... cerebral and rewarding'</p>
The Times
<p>'A fascinating and fertile subject... captivating to watch... the comparisons we can draw with modern-day America are all too clear'</p>
Telegraph
<p>'An intriguing, knotty new drama about artists trying to survive in a time of political repression... Edgar ably captures his famous subjects' complexities and contradictions, nailing their honed intellectualism and overweening egos... a taut, noirish mood of unspoken menace'</p>
The Stage
<p>'A lively take on the personal politics of art and ideology'</p>
Guardian
<p>'Intelligent writing... Edgar puts the emphasis on the personal, suggesting betrayals not only of political comrades but in personal life too... it held me right through its single 80-minute act'</p>
British Theatre Guide
<p>'Powerful, intense and engaging'</p>
