★★★★ The Times
“A marble-tiled floor stretches back to a marble-tiled wall where, high above gilded chairs and potted plants, a portrait of a moustached man stares down from a marble-tiled frame. In combat gear and beret, he seems simultaneously strong and fatherly...Simon Kenny’s set instantly suggests layers of information about the fictional Middle Eastern state where American writer Howard Korder’s 2010 play is set...this tale of a lost Eden is hauntingly attractive.” The Observer
“Theatrically flamboyant” The Guardian
