Reviews
"This is good grit"
Evening Standard ****
"The writers and the actors capture with real brilliance the diverse voices of the estate... Gripping, heart-ripping social comment... SENSATIONAL"
Time out ****
"Utterly gripping... politicised theatre at its best. The cast are uniformly superb. Lindsey Coulson is heartbreaking"
Metro *****
"This haunting play tells it as it is... if you have a social conscience, this is unmissable"
UK Theatre Network *****
"Blame is hard-hitting. It makes no concessions to theatrical niceties. Only the stone hearted could remain unaffected"
The Stage
"Skilfully up-ends stereotypes. Language stronger than builder's tea; music cutting-edge urban..."
Yorkshire Press
"More than 120 people stayed behind... compelled to stay in their seats by the power of what they had just seen."
