‘Noonan’s play, I believe, is a work of such importance for Ireland, a work of drama so powerfully close to the bone that several in the audience felt immediately resentful (always a good sign) and began to take up with reactionary complaints – too difficult, too triggering, too graphic for young ears. The language is raw, the subject matter substantial, but all of it I think, is necessary’. Louise Roseingrave, Reporter/Journalist – IrishIndependent.ie
