Critical Opinions

"...... astonishes with its haunting imagery, its humour, its drama, its often frightening extremes of physicality ...... This is total theatre — do anything to get a ticket."
London Evening Standard

"...... a work of genius that resonates with relevance to the human condition."
The Scotsman

"It is riven with moments of wild humour, and galvanised both by stunning theatrical coups and stunning performance from its cast."
The Financial Times

"This is a piece that dares to address intense and gruelling areas of our spiritual and emotional life and, immaculately directed and performed as it is, it ranks as one of the richest and unsparing theatrical experiences I've had in a long time."
The Independent

"For courage and mastery, DV8 is unmatched."
The Independent on Sunday
