"An astonishing, enormous, shattering eruption of a play... it left me genuinely stunned." -- Time Out--Time Out
"A stunning, sprawling and richly written new play... a mixing of the mythic and the modern." -- The Stage--The Stage
"A stunning piece that might be even better than Mojo and even Jerusalem, which is really saying something... combines elements of Greek tragedy with a shrewd commentary on recent Irish history in the wrapping of a high octane family drama." -- British Theatre Guide--British Theatre Guide
"A rich, serious, deeply involving play... what gives Butterworth's play such shattering force is its Hardyesque love of rural rituals and its compassionate exploration of unspoken love." -- The Guardian--The Guardian
"Butterworth has done it again... a drama of mighty magnitude..... miss this and you've missed a marvel." -- The Telegraph--The Telegraph
“A richly absorbing and emotionally abundant play...An instant classic.” —Independent
“A mighty affair, sending stories, characters, history, politics and love skittering across the floor with the flair of a gambler rolling dice. It’s a stunning piece of writing: teeming with life; haunted by death...Butterworth takes the great family drama and makes it his own.” —Financial Times
“An astonishing, enormous, shattering eruption of a play...It left me genuinely stunned.” —Time Out London
“A rich, serious, deeply involving play about the shadows of the past and the power of silent love.” —Guardian
“It’s a tumbling and tumultuous play, one that swerves off into storytelling, song and dance, and debate, without taking its eye off the need for suspense. It’s a thriller that bursts the bounds of its genre, but never forgets what makes the form tick.” —Variety
“A serious, seriously good, grown-up play...Something special.” —The Times
“A feast of intricate storytelling, it’s absorbing, soulful and ultimately shattering.” —Evening Standard
“Vanishing. It’s a powerful word, that. A powerful word.”
