funny, touching, and arrestingly original ... a beautiful, sustained act of ensemble wondering at the peculiar business of being alive, of all that striving and struggling, loving and losing. Highly recommended. Daily Telegraph on Freefall Mr. Kinevane artfully conveys the secrets, the hidden past, of the aged, and the dignity often behind their quaint, seemingly innocuous bearing. New York Times on Forgotten Razor sharp, telegraphic language is presented at times not as mere naturalistic dialogue, but almost as pure chorale rhythm... an extremely well crafted play. Irish Theatre Magazine on Drum Belly Playwright Rosemary Jenkinson uses her latest work to mock Northern Ireland's almost comical sense of self-regard ... and to tackle some of the big, global issues facing humanity in the 21st century ... a giant leap for Northern Ireland theatre. culturenorthernireland.org on Planet Belfast A dark Irish fairytale ... there are moments to make your heart sing ... when the author concentrates on the young women, the writing is fresh and true, and it nibbles and gnaws at the heart. Guardian on Desolate Heaven There won't be a fiercer, more disturbing look at urban life this year than The Boys of Foley Street ... Performed with ferocious precision, here is a play that takes a few streets and reveals a whole world. Guardian on The Boys of Foley Street
