Duncan Macmillan’s cracking play is a timely and gripping

*The Guardian, on Monster*
An honest, original and pretty much irresistible tearjerker.
*The New York Times ArtsBeat, on People, Places and Things*
A woundingly intense two-hander. It is the most beautiful, quietly
shattering play of the year.
*The Express, on Lungs*
If we look to theatre to increase our awareness of the human
condition, the evening succeeds on all counts. [...] This talk,
which deserves wide dissemination, is better than good: it is
necessary.
*The Guardian, on 2071*
Heart-wrenching, hilarious... one of the funniest plays you’ll ever
see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays
you’ll ever see, full stop.
*The Guardian, on Every Brilliant Thing*
The writing is exquisitely painful. At times it feels like
Macmillan has taken one of those little spoons, the ones with the
serrated edge, for grapefruit, and scooped something out of
you.
*The Stage, on People, Places and Things*
It is a rigorous but impassioned cri de coeur [...] conveyed in a
single voice, founded on a lifetime's experience of the workings of
the planet, it has real power.
*New Scientist, on 2071*
