Media
This exquisitely observed, profoundly quiet slice of 1950s suburban life circles around grief of the concealed, Rattigan variety....Leigh meticulously shows us a group of people trapped by middle-class gentility, without ever condescending to them...Be warned, it will take you almost beyond what’s bearable. Sunday Times
A haunting portrait of loss and loneliness. Financial Times
Leigh’s meticulous production potently captures the pain that lurked behind stiff upper lips in the England of the fifties...be warned: brilliant though it often is, GRIEF casts a potent pall of desolation that lingers long after the show itself is over. Daily Telegraph.
