Reviews
"'A savvy, observant and sometimes very funny look at teenage thrills and impulsiveness… [the characters'] interactions have an affectionate awkwardness that's quirkily authentic… Christou has a great ear for the peculiar cadences of adolescent banter and sulkiness, as well as a fine awareness of the different ways in which both teenagers and adults can be needy'"
Evening Standard
"'A fantastic bit of writing. Christou deftly hits the peaks and troughs of a father-daughter relationship as it spins endlessly between laughter and argument… an impressive and very funny debut play'"
The Stage
"'A measured and well-oiled debut… Christou teases ideas out slickly, letting them bubble through the characters while never letting the concept override the stories on show'"
