- Reviews
- "... Yet in Bailey’s production something mysterious happens. Dillon speaks it [the speech in which she asks women to put their hands under their husbands’ feet] with such careful consideration - ironic, gentle, with a thrill of anticipation - that it becomes truly moving. This is Dillon’s triumph but it is Caves’s too: they act together as if they are reaching not a truce but an understanding, as if dominance and submission were a tease taken seriously only by the dullards around them.." Susannah Clapp, The Observer (29 January 2012).
