«One of the most distinctive new voices in British writing.»
The Guardian
«Alistair McDowall is, I think, the most exciting playwright to emerge out of English theatre in the past five years...He makes me want to try harder. He makes me want to be better.»
Simon Stephens, Playwright, UK
«Brilliantly creepy and compelling, [it] darts back and forth in time and disorientingly blurs the divide between horror games and a much more nightmarish reality... The piece remains forever slippery about recognizing evil, challenging us with the moral ambiguities of its mobius strip nature.»
The Independent
«In McDowall's surreal vision, [a] neglected space becomes a symbol of the vacuousness of the modern world - yet also of its extraordinary, mythic possibilities... It's a perfect image of Pomona's nightmarish allure and McDowall's power to suck us in.»
Evening Standard
