The play has a thriller-like suspense as the Westerners are caught up in a coup . . . One of the meatiest nights of theatre on offer . . . MICHAEL BILLINGTON. The Guardian. 06/03/1994 One of the great voices of contemporary theatre, and one of the most powerful voices of feminist theatre... NICK AHAD. Yorkshire Evening Post. 17/03/2006 It should tickle most people's fancy, theatre buffs or no... BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE. The Daily Telegraph. 20/03/2006 The result, however, is much more savage than the movie. MICHAEL BILLINGTON. The Guardian. 28/08/1991 'that is a complex and estimable addition to the Pam Gems roster of legendary pin-ups: Piaf, Camille and Queen Christina . . . ' MICHAEL COVENEY. Financial Times. 01/09/1991 Actually, 'adapted' is not quite the right word. Gems has relocated the story to 1920s Hamburg and Maria Bjornson's set, with its precipitous angles and lurid doorways, recalls the films of Murnau. The atmosphere is cool but febrile. JOHN PETERS. The Sunday Times. 01/09/1991 The portrait of a disenchanted middle-class career leftie yearning for a child is one of the most poignant images of our recent theatre. MICHAEL COVENEY Financial Times. 02/02/1984 It is a long time since I saw a new comedy which delighted me as much. Pam Gems's LOVING WOMEN at the ARTS is just the winter tonic we have been waiting for: sexually knowing, wittily in touch with young people's lifestyles and, above all, funny. JOHN BARBER. The Daily Telegraph. 02/02/1984 No one can accuse Pam Gems of short-changing her audience in her new play LOVING WOMEN at the ARTS THEATRE. CHARLES SPENCER. The Evening Standard. 02/02/1984
