The Guardian ★★★★
"It receives a searingly intense performance from Rebecca Grant, whose willingness to imagine the unimaginable is commendable."
West Yorkshire Post ★★★★★
"This is what theatre is for" , "Intensely powerful"
North Leeds Life Magazine
"Rebecca's
portrayal was so powerful and riveting. You sat in the dark like her
and listened as, gasping for air, she told her tale of violence and
abuse."
The Public Reviews ★★★★
"Rebecca Grant
performs this one woman play which echoes the playwright’s feelings of
these issues. At the beginning the audience is asked to close their
eyes and imagine what is like not remembering exactly where they are and
everything that is held dear has slipped away. Grant plays well the
young woman very intensely and dramatically and portrays a lot of
emotions including conscription of fear to sheer frustration."
Backseat Mafia Review
"So
the playhouse are throwing some serious talent at this production with
former Holby City and Emmerdale star Rebecca Grant playing a woman
struggling to free herself from the ruthless criminals who are using
her."
State of the Arts
"The central character is
fierce and humorous, strong and yet tender. It’s a powerful performance
from Rebecca Grant, best known for her role on Holby City, intensified
by unnervingly oppressive sound design and lighting."
