“★★★★★ Captures the claustrophobia and darkness of a community lost inside itself... and praise to Scottish Ballet for recognising the benefits of bringing together a choreographer (Pickett) with a theatre director (Bonas).”
— THE SCOTSMAN
“★★★★ Bewitchingly good... Pickett and her artistic collaborator, the actor and director James Bonas, waste no time, grabbing us from the get go... Scottish Ballet has a hit on its hands.”

— THE HERALD
