Doug Lucie's signature spikiness remains intact, and then some ... Telling of the various meltdowns, betrayals, and shifting alliances in a shared house in Brixton while riots rage just beyond the front door (the year is 1981), the play serves as a reminder of the invaluable prickliness offered up by Lucie ... Lucie's skill lies in taking us inside an assemblage of people that he knows too well simply to dismiss ... the characters always emerge as individuals first and points on the social, political, and class spectrum second ... Times may have changed, but the divisiveness and anger off of which the play feeds so exhilaratingly walk among us still. -- Matt Wolf Arts Desk 20130618 Lucie's scathing portrait of a self-absorbed, style-conscious generation ... What makes this a good play is its beady-eyed picture of a Britain where privilege - in the form of wealth, education or physical beauty - holds sway and where the advantaged maintain a glazed indifference to the world outside ... a state-of-the-nation play rich in individual characters. -- Michael Billington Guardian 20130618
