Notes
- Reviews
- "The play to work at all, requires some suggestion of heat, passion and simmering, restless violence. Place it...on a non-descript, white curtained platform about as redolent of Italy as a travel poster of Slough and you draw attention to the play’s dramatic deficiencies." Michael Billington, Guardian (29.8.74). A taped interview with Bryden regarding this production is also held by the British Library Sound Archive.
