— Review of Hydra Sue Smith , 2019 single work drama

'Alcoholism, terminal illness, suicide, infidelity and a self-obsessed couple of writers marooned on a barren island in the Aegean. What’s not to love if you’re a writer writing about writers and ­inspired by the grand tradition of Greek tragedy?' (Introduction)

— Review of From Darkness Steven Oliver , 2019 single work drama

'Superficially, Steven Oliver’s From Darkness is a foul-mouthed shout-fest about family breakdown in the wake of suicide. Add to that a clunky here’s-the-sad-bit/now-here’s-the-funny-bit structure and everyone going on about someone who the audience has never met or ever will, and ordinarily you’d expect a skull-and-crossbones warning sign of box-office poison ahead.'(Introduction)
