“Director Corey McMahon has lucidly and expertly handled the disparate elements of the play, managing shifts in emotion and tone, as well as invoking the larger questions Kirkwood asks about sustainability, excessive consumption, and climate emergency” - Murray Bramwell, InDaily
“This is another great addition to the works that have been produced by the State Theatre Company of South Australia. Corey McMahon has again shown his gift for realising a script to its highest level” - Adrian Barnes, Glam Adelaide
“All three actors are clearly very well cast and directed by Corey McMahon. Tina Bursill is enigmatic and mysterious in a central role as Rose, who we discover has a history with the other two nuclear physicists and former colleagues. Terence Crawford is charmingly laconic and convincingly likeable as Robin, husband to Hazel, energetically played by Genevieve Mooy” - Peter Bleby, Australian Stage
