* Evening Standard *'Magnificent... masterful... will steal your heart'
* Guardian *'Dazzling... a beautiful and funny journey through twelve young people's lives... The dialogue in this extraordinary state-of-the-nation play is comic gold dust... Through a dynamic distilling of her ongoing encounters with these young people, Blythe and her team respect and explore each of them as individuals... It's a thrill to spend time inside these young people's lives; it's hard to imagine getting so close to these characters without the immersive documentary-style process that Blythe has honed over several plays... eye-opening, generous and brilliantly inventive'
* Time Out *'Thrilling... a frank, fond tribute to the agony and ecstasy of generation Snapchat'
* Daily Telegraph *'An extraordinary show... we grow to love these kids, fear for them, celebrate with them, laugh and cry with them'
* Broadway World *'Wise, beguiling, hilarious and gut-punchingly moving: a living portrait of adolescence, in all its overwhelming intensity... supremely lovable'
