“[Brooks’]
writing has found the perfect director in Andrew Sutherland, who fully embraces the piece’s eccentricities. ...
Like a conductor, [Sutherland] balances each element on stage, focusing attention where needed while maintaining the overall rhythm.” - Magazine 6000
“truly tender and intimate work. Sutherland’s strength lies in the minute details that draw in audiences without them even realising ... The eeriness of the set design and stories is offset by a unique tenderness that will keep you enthralled” - Theatre Reviews Perth
