* Guardian *'A deep dive into the murky waters of the legacy of Britain's role in the slave trade.. The rich depth of Pinnock's writing... It is an ugly truth, but, somehow, Winsome Pinnock has made it beautiful'
* The Stage *'Ambitious and complex... beautifully held together by the poetry and quality of Pinnock's writing... an astonishingly beautiful and emotional coup de theatre... conjures the ghosts of the past and makes them powerful and engrossing in a theatre, here and now'
* Whatsonstage *'Powerful, hard-hitting... urgent and important... also startlingly funny in parts'
* Evening Standard *'Inspirationally ambitious and all-encompassingly humane... Bravo'
