★★★★★ “Beautifully supported by an excellent sound design and original composition” | The Arts Review

★★★★★ “The use of microphones and headphones gave this intense experience in which the audience could even listen to the exhausted breath of the characters, the change in intonation and the whispering parts of the poignant monologues of two people fighting to make a relationship work” |TN2 Magazine
