REVIEW / TESTIMONIALS
Review of Stageplay, Con Wake or The Dead Duck Social Club

Review for the Stage-Play THE LEBERS DANCE
“The visual elements of the play are very compelling. Having Daughter’s dances mirror specific words that pertain to the stages of grief is evocative and invites the audience to feel those emotions with her. The use of a screen to reduce both Mum and Daughter to silhouettes at moments throughout the piece is foreboding and brings a sense of tragedy from the very beginning of the play”
- Gavin Kostick [Fishamble Theatre Company]
