Reviews

★★★★  The Times: ‘Felicity Huffman delivers an excoriating, elemental performance in director Steven Kunis’s remorselessly gripping production.’ 

★★★★ The Stage: 'Directed by Steven Kunis, this lucid revival is challenging, confronting, and very funny, pitched precisely between grotesque parody and earnest debate. Kunis has an exacting eye for detail.'  

★★★★ The Daily Mail (Show of the Week): ‘The evening sparkles.’ 

★★★★ WhatsOnStage: ‘Thoroughly thought-provoking... Steven Kunis’ production grips from the start.’  

★★★★  The Arts Desk: ‘Incendiary production for Taylor Mac’s rich absurdist family drama... laced with lacerating wit.’ 

★★★★★ City A.M.: ‘Brash, relevant, hilarious, surprising and utterly human in its portrayal of corruption and horror.’  


★★★★★ Morning Star: ‘Director Steven Kunis masterfully balances both tension and humour, moving from semi-farce to tragedy without ever becoming sententious.’


★★★★ 'Daily Mirror: Steven Kunis directs Taylor Mac’s explosive play with razor-sharp precision.'

★★★★ Pink News: ‘Revolutionary theatre.”
 

★★★★ London Box Office: “Compelling, funny, and brutal’

 

★★★★ A Young(ish) Perspective: ‘A snappy script, expert production and highly capable cast come together to produce a dark comedy offering equal measures laughter and tragedy.’

 

★★★★ The Spy in the Stalls: ‘The production is masterfully directed by Steven Kunis who brings Hir to life.’

 

★★★★ All That Dazzles: ‘Director Steven Kunis makes tremendous use of his space, using every detail – even the placement of furniture – as central to the storytelling.’

 

★★★★ Hackney Gazette: ‘A refreshing, bracing upending of the happy family myth.’

 

Diva: ‘This twisted story of a family caught in the crosshairs of change comes to life through the visionary direction of Steven Kunis.’
