'With this truly remarkable new play, Philip Ridley completes an East End trilogy that will one day be rated one of the high water marks of British drama in the first decade of this century... every line and every scene has a raw, compelling vivacity and application for the here and now, and Lisa Goldman's brilliant production proclaims a work of dark fantasy and genius.'
***** Michael Coveney, What's on Stage. To read the full review, click here.

'Goldman’s highly charged production is relentlessly exciting, a disconcerting and superbly acted surreal image of insane inner-city life.'

'A visceral and darkly intelligent exploration of delusion and deception... The cast are naturalistic and impressive in their rawness... incorporates the quirky, quick wit of London's East End in a truly chilling portrait of shared delusions... In a household where a happy family portrait is labelled "fucking propaganda", the past is an unascertainable entity. Similar to Pinter except more original, relevant and convincing, Piranha Heights has a dark, tense energy which it sustains throughout. With its violence and pessimism, not everyone will warm to this play... but for those willing to brave it, Piranha Heights is an exhiliratingly excellent piece with exactly-aimed, unnerving shafts of bleak, sinister psychology.'

'Look - they're fading. Those liars. Dissolving... It's the end of their world... The birth of a new one... Our one... Our world.'

It’s Mother’s Day and mother is dead. Now her two sons gather in her home to argue about the truth of their childhood. But a storm is approaching...with a violent new truth all of its own.
