"Here we are in a smooth, icy white box (designed by Sarah Beaton), where both characters are suspended in limbo away from their lives. It enhances the piece’s surreal edge — and the intrigue. We are never quite sure which way the story is going to jump.” – Financial Times

“This works seamlessly alongside a minimalist white cube set from Sarah Beaton. With no more than two chairs as props, pastel shades illuminate the stage, turning the cube from blue and pink to mint green indicating scenes and their different sensations in colour.” – British Theatre Guide

“The dialogue is sometimes off-kilter (deliberately so) and Sarah Beaton’s bare set adds to an otherworldly quality, John and Aga seemingly detached from the reality when in each others’ company, reflecting the escape of the surrender to the passion that underpins illicit affairs.” – The Arts Desk
