“Sex, love, power and climate change make for a heady, disorientating cocktail… the tale of two people who devour each other in a world that is devouring itself” WhatsOnStage
“The play is a powerful dissection of how we live today that raises many questions about individual responsibility in an increasingly complex world....” Exeunt
“Chelsea Walker’s tight, focused direction… There’s a lot of meaty stuff here – like the apathy, waste and hypocrisy of humans and corporations and how these things impact interpersonal affairs.” The Stage
“a whip-smart production by Chelsea Walker…” Boycotting Trends
“Chelsea Walker’s razor-sharp direction” The Daily Express
