Reviews:

This was a fabulously choreographed, frazzling meeting of bodies and was intensely gripping. The heady, antagonistic relationship between the two of wanting, and then rejecting each other was convincingly created in the space of a few seconds. Clever use of ordinary dinner chairs (Ikea will never seem the same again) and creative lifts, captivated throughout. Packed with passion, motional ball games, power struggles and splendid performances this was a piece for women in the Nineties.
