      Paul Robinson's punchy revival...powerfully written, finely acted
      The Times ****

      There is much to admire in both Fugard's writing and Paul Robinson's deeply felt, atmospherically designed production. Powerfully poignant….powerful performances The acting is outstanding. Rafe Spall, son of the great Timothy, beautifully captures the mental fragility and nagging fear of Johnny, who has no idea of how to live life on his own, and is terrified of the emptiness that faces him. Meanwhile Saskia Reeves reveals a desolate depth of pain and despair behind the tough-cookie facade of the street prostitute, especially when she describes the death of her mother with heart-catching clarity and detail. There is a spontaneity, rawness and sense of shared memory about these two exceptional performances that make this play very special indeed.
