REVIEWS

‘a searing production … a magnificently primal set, hauntingly lit … an exciting, demanding production of a provocative, disturbing play’ Sunday Independent
‘stimulating and earthy, cerebral and austerely beautiful … no production of Knives in Hens should ever be definitive. Landmark’s production makes more than a stab at it, though’ The Irish Times
‘haunting … excellent … outstanding’ Sunday Times
‘this smouldering piece of dramatic intensity … told with a simple unpretentious poetic power … utterly compelling’Irish Mail on Sunday
