Editorial Reviews

Observer (London)

...[a] fine play...so concentrated and unflinching that at times it takes your breath away.

The Times (London)

A major play...thrilling, humane and timely.

The Guardian (London)

...[a] big, brave, compassionate play about grief, revenge, forgiveness and bearing the unbearable.

Independent (London)

Consistently surprising and even bravely comic...The almost thriller-like promise of the play's climactic confrontation is like a time-bomb ticking in the back of your head.

DEC 05/JAN 06 - AudioFile

All three actors in Lavery's drama about a serial killer convey emotion skillfully and powerfully, often in monologue--though Laila Robins's Agnetha is sometimes too theatrical and strident. The use of amplifier feedback to punctuate her speeches doesn't help. Her intense weeping at the play's start seems manipulative, and the revelation of her loss, anticlimactic, compared to Nancy's (Rosalind Ayres) loss of her murdered child. The central "frozen" metaphor is strained, and the speculation on evil and responsibility, commonplace. The real power lies in both Ayers's portrayal of a stricken woman coming to grips with life and Jeffrey Donovan’s chilling characterization of the killer's sick affection for little girls.
