"Choreographer Gareth Belling and composer Susan Hawkins are to be commended for having delivered a work which expresses the human condition in unexpected and enlarging ways... This ambitious work sparkles with the bedazzling genius of Rachael Walsh and Janette Mulligan. They transport the audience for a moment into an ethereal beauty hidden inside even the most dysfunctional of relationships." (Matt Foley, Stage Diary)
