Tanika Gupta's deft and illuminating play... delicately picks its way through the ethical dilemmas... the storytelling is clear, bright, compelling and often witty... [a] sympathetic and wise exploration of how it felt to be caught up in such a painful and critical period of history.' Financial Times ★★★★★

'This ambitious, driving play... swings from dense history lecture to intimate storytelling, where Gupta’s writing is at its most playful and potent... friends and family spar and banter; this is where Gupta makes her sharpest and funniest observations about politics, gender roles and internalised oppression.' The Guardian ★★★★

'Tanika Gupta's new play... achieves balance, not spin... constantly reveal[s] both our capacity for cruelty and humanity.' WhatsOnStage ★★★★

'A powerfully illuminating look at history.' The Stage
