Interested in politics and open to the fact that neither the right or the left of the political spectrum is always right? You will like it.Written on May 08 2010

While the production was on the whole very good, political soap opera is just not my cup of tea. If it's yours, you'll love it.Written on May 10 2010

wonderful play, hope it finds a larger venue so more can enjoy it. Excellent cast all around. Though a fairly long play, it moves swiftly.Written on Apr 20 2010

If you like political plays or plays about the insides of bureaucracy then you will love this one. The acting was superb. My only reservation is that there were many blacked out scene changes. The play would have moved along faster if the production team had devised a way of setting all the scenes on one stage with the actors moving around the stage. I have seen this done in other productions.Written on Apr 12 2010
