Rezensionen

Go[es] beyond the crime syndicate clichés and turn[s] a tightly plotted mystery into a meditation on the amorphous nature of national and cultural identity . . . Dormer's razor sharp, telegraphic language is presented at times not as mere naturalistic dialogue, but almost as pure chorale rhythm . . . an extremely well-crafted play.
