“Tom Wright’s sparkly but unvariegated production certainly has its moments. Despite the undeniable warmth that emanates throughout, some sections feel sluggish, plagued by visual repetitiveness and a handful of jokes that don’t land...No doubt streamlining the script’s over-bloated final section would let it pack a stronger punch and garner a greater sense of joy.”

“Over-conceptualising aside, this is a sweet, sincere and frequently very funny play...Tom Wright’s 75-minute production is slickly paced, with judicious use of lighting to switch location, time period and mood...Ultimately more nostalgic than ground-breaking, but the gentle optimism in looking to a better future holds its own kind of magic.”

“Despite the show’s humorous, frequently silly tone, Holtom’s script is far from simplistic...Director Tom Wright sets a lively pace here, letting scenes bleed fluidly together without losing momentum.”

“Wholly sparkling, the show has a magical sheen to it...Excellent direction from Tom Wright really allows these fantastic actors to show off their talent. A tangible chemistry between the trio pulls you in and allows to sit with them in the moment...I would recommend this play to nearly everyone I know, and wish I had my own time-turner to experience it for the first time all over again.”
