Press for this production:

‘A well-paced and well-delivered show that punches above its weight… the play is as thoughtful as much as it is amusing, with a conclusion that would have been fanciful if it wasn’t true. Above all, it’s a hoot.’ ★★★★ London Theatre 1

‘The final scene was pleasingly outrageous. And the cast was fantastic. All three performers, Louise Beresford, Roger Parkins, and Mary Tillett, veered from the comic to the tragic with ease. This was a really thought-provoking play, and a very enjoyable one’ London Pub Theatres

‘From the extraordinary story of Cecilia Giménez, writer Joe Wiltshire Smith has created a beautifully crafted play that embraces her innocence and resilience, while exploring the consequences of good intentions gone awry… Director Scott Le Crass has created a rustic simplicity in the telling of this story… With a uniformly talented cast, he evenly balances the humour and the historical narrative drawing on the naturalism of Smith’s dialogue to create an absorbing and engaging production.’ ★★★★ Broadway Baby

‘Joe Wiltshire Smith’s writing impresses with its delightful pace, eliciting genuine laughs. Smith excellently flips between playful dialogue and profound considerations without jarring… Mary Tillett as aspiring art restorer Cecilia is a standout performer… an undeniably entertaining ride’ The Reviews Hub

‘What makes this piece of work so fun to watch is the creative structure, the charisma with which it is expertly delivered by the cast, and the vibrant dialogue in the script. In this new play, ideas about religion and creativity converge making viewers question what they thought they knew about art and enlightenment.’ The Play’s the Thing

‘many laugh-out-loud moments… Beyond the laughs, there is an awful lot you could think about, but in the blissfully air-conditioned Jack Studio Theatre, it is just fun to watch Wiltshire Smith throw all these balls into the air and leave catching them until later.’ British Theatre Guide
