"'Utterly contemporary and entirely real, crackling with the cut and thrust of everyday conversation... The play is superbly written, never losing either its tension, its humour or its ability to involve the audience in [its characters'] searing set of choices... Guess How Much I Love You? is a play illuminated by love. It takes an extreme version of the fears facing every couple who have ever tried for a baby and examines it with compassion and sensitivity... it shines a light on ordinary people faced with extraordinary circumstances and lets them live on stage'"
WhatsOnStage
"'Gut-wrenching... a masterclass in fire-hosing emotion... exquisitely excruciating... A bad writer can render grief cheaply; a good one such as Norris can expose its tangled, selfish, monstrous devastation'"
Telegraph
"'Shattering... extraordinary... Luke Norris's play is a harrowing portrait of pregnancy and grief, plumbing the depths of sorrow within a marriage. But it is not only that. It is funny and profound, intense without ever becoming overwrought... a tear-jerker with 100% heart, 0% sentimentality... an emotional tour de force'"
Guardian
"'Searing... a work of pure compassion'"
