"This is extremely well written, the characters invite emotional investment and several socio-political themes are explored through their stories. Worsooz has an original setting at its centre that immediately draws the reader / audience in. It has finely detailed characterisation, playful dialogue and both touching and funny moments. A promising voice." -- The Paptango Playwriting Award (London)
