a short, absorbing play tracing the tangled relationships of the novelist [James Joyce], his intractable wife, Nora, the increasingly disturbed Lucia, and the kindly but romantically uncommitted Beckett. Laurie Atkinson

Three actors bring the world of the play with vivid life and no shortage of charming good humour for a tale which deals essentially with a sad journey. Lindsay Clarke

While the play is an artistic interpretation rather than a biography of Lucia’s life, Bolwell offers plausible and provocative scenes, with dialogue and excerpts from both authors that brings these eccentric, literary characters to life. Dr Karen Barbour
