Moment by Deirdre Kinahan
An explosive drama about how one terrible moment can change lives irrevocably.'The whole play comes over like a shattering Greek tragedy, served up with cups of tea and slices of quiche'
* Telegraph *'Simply a great piece of writing, a beautifully wrought drama that pitches from affable family farce to agonised domestic tragedy with liquid cruelty'
* Time Out *'Moment is both a merciless excavation of a trauma and an enthralling, often disturbing account of how families can suffocate as well as nurtureIt's a terrific piece of new writing.'
