a philosophical, funny and wise tight-rope act.<br />
it blew me away.’<br />
The Times<br />

communicates the animal energy and the caustic,<br />
uncompromising spirit of the artist.’<br />
independent<br />

tremendous play... has the feel of a contemporary<br />
classic.’<br />
Guardian<br />

and faces incarceration. Her younger lover<br />
carpeta is approached to take over and seizes<br />
the assignment for himself.<br />
