"Ellie Darvill proves endlessly inventive in choreographing her cast and the distribution of lines among solo voices, semi and larger choruses give the piece an almost symphonic character with haunting original music by Richard Radnor Williams. This is a team game and I did not notice a weak link. Impassioned, moving and sometimes distressing where it touches on individual victims, the fact that the company reflects Birmingham's multicultural population naturally gives it a particular resonance. It is one of those triumphant occasions that reasserts the power and (for once not to dodge a hackneyed word) the relevance of theatre." The Birmingham Post
