"Writer Sarah Wooley briskly alchemised masses of material into recognisable characters, dilemmas, deceits, disasters and final triumphs. Applause all round"

Hampstead; Autumn Season Announced
By Mark Shenton
Playbill June 8th 2012
Picture
‘The virtue of Wooley's play is that it conveys the extraordinariness of the seemingly ordinary...  Wooley makes the point, very effectively, about the belated urge to compensate for the unlived life and the failure of families to communicate with each other’  The Guardian
Picture
The play’s greatest achievement is that it confounds expectations - what starts off as a study in family politics, reveals itself as an engaging and well-plotted thriller, as the blanks of the stranger’s past are slowly filled in.' 
The Stage.
