“
What an absolutely beautiful piece. Wonderful writing, touching, poignant, so thrilled to have stumbled upon Barbara Lindsay. ”

“
WOW. Lindsay's work (also read her THIS ALMOST JOY and PUPPIES AND KITTENS) is often a marvel, and HOLY HELL is absolutely no exception.
It's one of the absolutely darkest stories possible, a story about the secrets and burdens that we carry and how they underlie even our best efforts to better ourselves.
Lindsay excels at exploring (so well!) humanity at its most selfish and most vulnerable.
Include this in your festival and you've got the play everyone in the audience will be talking about. As with most Lindsay plays, as has been my experience.
Holy hell indeed. ”
