“The hands down show stopper of Luminato… smart, irreverent, challenging and brilliantly directed and acted.”

“Bold and insightful theatre”

“Life is tragedy seen in close-up, comedy in the long shot, Charlie Chaplin said; Peggy Pickit allows us to see both at once.”

“Cleverly written and cleverly directed… beautifully cast… powerful”

“Director Liesl Tommy’s work with the four actors is razor sharp; the looping of word, physicality and emotion is a show in itself.”

“Resonates long after the curtain call.”

“Tight, well-written and poetic, it is a play filled with heart. A fine cast led by the luminous, vulnerable Dienye Waboso as Beka and with excellent work from Karen Robinson, Lucky Onyekachi Ejim and a delightful Muoi Nene.”

“Binyavanga Wainaina’s lyrical script moves forward with gusto, and is forcefully acted by its ensemble cast”

“Wainaina is one of those rare playwrights who can give the colloquial language the sound of poetry.”

“Strong direction… muscular, musical staging”
