“Dan’s knife-edge onstage ecstasy mirrors the audience’s heart-thumping, precipitous response. What is this? What’s coming next? These dramatic quandaries are variously solved with a vacuum cleaner. Who knew? What a miraculous piece of theatre.” Tara Brady The Irish Times★★★★★

“When Daw’s protective tattoo of a Japanese oni seems to come to life, surrounding his body with shining silk and plastic limbs, you witness a man who is absolutely assured of his right to be who he is and want what he wants.” Sarah Crompton The Guardian★★★★  “But the biggest gift of all, to Daw and to us, is his final wardrobe change. A costume so fabulous (no spoilers here) that it conveys strength and fragility, power and vulnerability all wrapped up in one glorious outfit.” Kelly Apter The Scotsman★★★★

“Unapologetic, vulnerable, brilliant” Rachel Elderkin The Stage★★★★
