'A brilliant piece of theatre… a marvellously luminous and engaging show that teaches us, entertains us and finally transports us' — The Arts Desk
'Blindingly ingenious… a stunning mix of communal and personal epiphany that’s the hi-tech equivalent of chomping on a hallucinogenic cane toad' — Time Out
'This is, in every sense, an adventure… both an extraordinary yarn and an expedition into theatrical possibility' — The Times
'Astonishing... a hypnotic, almost religious experience that warrants those two much-abused terms, "immersive" and "unmissable"' — Evening Standard
'Masterful storytelling from a man and a company who are incapable of remaining within known theatrical boundaries' — Independent
'The stuff of a twisting, turning, thoroughly engrossing fairytale... McBurney captures the metaphysical spirit - as well as the pulse-quickening heart - of the experience with this head-turning, spellbinding show' — Telegraph
'The effect is a soundcloud of a process, in which fact and fiction, past and present, research and production intermingle, spinning a story out of the air' — Variety
