Deeply moving and challenging. An investigation into empathy despite tragedy - "Audience Member"
Very intimate and focused production. Achieved a lot with such great cast and direction + great acting - Audience Member
"Lucy Hadfield gives a great performance in the role of Grace. She is believable as the tormented soul, trying to find herself again...
Director Liviu Monsted explores this dark territory well. The play was an intense experience, made even more so by the intimacy of the Actor’s Pulse Theatre venue....
Summing up. Mons Sans Productions, in association with Actor’s Anonymous, have given Amber Spooner’s first play a good production. The play reveals a playwright, and dramatist, of promise." - Sydney Arts Guide
