    Reviews

    "'An adaptation that rises to the challenge of replicating Woolf's near-perfect expression of the human experience... her most beautiful and revealing lines are woven into a naturalistic script that is by turns relatable, moving and extremely funny... a show that wonderfully captures the joy, cruelty and beautiful mundanity of life'"
    Guardian
    "'Playful and sensitive... Wilson Brown's interpretation shapes the relentless ebb and flow of the novel around six distinct characters and allows them not just to share their thoughts, but sometimes to speak directly to each other... she has turned a mercurial work into compelling, and often surprisingly moving drama... an elegantly effective response to a tricky modernist classic - buoyantly confident, with a powerful emotional undertow'"
    The Stage
    "'Life-affirming and poetic... admirably captures the ambiguity of Woolf's writing'"
    Broadway World
