PRESS REACTION to this record-breaking production:
"a neat, epigrammatic turn of phrase... Cording builds the tension between Them and Us beautifully, with lots of clever humour... a dramatic, moving and often very amusing story that is played out brilliantly..."
East Anglian Daily Times"Surpassing even the highest standard set by previous shows from this lively and innovative theatre company... an experience sometimes bleak, sometimes richly comic."
Eastern Daily Press"Alastair Cording has written some of Eastern Angles' best shows..."
Diss Express"A rich vein of Victorian references... Strong, elegantly-written, funny and poignant drama."
Ipswich Evening Star"Wonderfully funny and touching..."
The Angle"Far from being a conventional whodunnit, Alastair Cording's beautifully-written play combines broad comedy, social comment and a touching love story."
The Stage"A tightly-woven tale of social division, priestly pomposity and parish scandal... Alastair Cording's play catches the genuine East Anglian note of rural cussedness, irrepressible humour and hurt bewilderment at change."
Maldon StandardAlastair Cording's script handles some weighty themes - religious doctrine, historical progress and the mysteries of the heart - with a wry, engaging sprightliness that continued to shimmer in my mind long after the curtain had come down"
