Reviews

Alice Birch's new play is scored like a piece of music... It is an extraordinary echoing text, full of pain and strange beauty.........Unexpectedly light and spry in its early scenes, Anatomy of a Suicide builds and builds to an incredibly powerful finale in which hope, while distant, can still be glimpsed.'
