Critical reception

The Guardian awarded the play three stars out of five, calling it "Intimately staged yet strangely old-fashioned." [6]

The Hollywood Reporter said in a review, "This shapeless play loses rather than gathers steam, ultimately seeming more like a docudrama patchwork with messy stitching than a satisfying, fully realized theatrical work." [7]
