Summary
"Another lost gem... with a special resonance for anyone who laments the passing of poetic writing in the theatre" - Whatsonstage.com
"... a strangely transfixing oddity. Dyer's linguistic flair puts contemporary writers to shame. His text, much of which strays into a concocted pidgin English, is both muscular and balletic It's a real treat for the ears." - Time Out
- Setting An attic of a Victorian mansion
Media
"Beautifully written, with an imagination at once exotic and desperately familiar..." - Sir Harold Hobson, The Sunday Times
