The Stage
'A tightly woven blend of acute observational humour, heartstopping drama, and chilling social commentary; Akhtar has so much to say, and somehow he manages to express himself with great skill and heart in approximately 80 minutes of stage time... truly magical... a fantastic piece of new writing... As far as I'm concerned, the P is for perfection'
Broadway World

Guardian
'A beautifully wrought two-hander... Impressively heartfelt... Akhtar's writing is beautiful in its playfulness and precision... the Bollywood-style romantic ending is delivered brilliantly, so beautifully done you won't be afraid to cry... a perfect balance of joy and gloom... genuinely urgent and moving'
