'Sharp comedy and a serious purpose are splendidly combined... It
unlocks the imagination, liberates the mind, and leaves you weak
with laughter'
*Time Out*
'The play that established Caryl Churchill as the most
imaginatively daring of our major dramatists; and, nearly 30 years
after its premiere, it still seems not only remarkably inventive
but as sharp about the contradictions of gender as anything that
has been written since'
*The Times*
