“Simon Wu… is clearly a very capable dramatist” (The British Theatre Guide)

“Shan Ng’s production engages throughout its 75 minutes.  All three actors communicate their tortured feelings with conviction on the small Etcetera stage, which is evocatively dressed and illuminated with a backdrop of small lights shining, dimly, through a translucent blue and gold screen.” (Camden New Journal)
