“Nobody does dystopia on the small-scale better than Bolam.”

“Russell Bolam’s pensive production, with a strikingly rickety design by Ellan Parry, highlights the writing’s strengths. There’s much to admire in the performances, too.”

“Russell Bolam’s direction complements the sense of isolation in Musgrave’s tale, but a stand-out performance from Lawther as Derek provides the innocence to counterpoint the brutality of the landscape.”
