“Dazzling... It’s brilliant!”
★★★★★  THE STAGE

“Kip Williams dazzles again… Storming performances… exhilarating.”
★★★★ THE GUARDIAN

“The reverence paid to Jean Genet’s overwrought 1947 play, in which two sisters in service role-play the murder of their awful mistress, always baffled me. In Australian auteur Kip Williams’s version, adapted and updated to a world of Instagram followers and filters, and running a high-octane 100 minutes, I finally got it... A marvel.”
★★★★ THE STANDARD

"“Frenzied, giddying, wildly extravagant... Superbly done” "
★★★★ DAILY MAIL
