'The National Youth Theatre is on cracking form in a new, very topical piece by Tanika Gupta.'

'A terrific NYT ensemble giving performances that rival those of professional actors on the London stage for emotional truth, spontaneity and naturalness… Gupta offers a vivid impression of London state school life, of rivalries and tensions, the racial antagonisms and resentments that sometimes precipitate murder, committed by teenagers wielding knives.'

'Juliet Knight’s absorbing production has an urgent topicality… Gupta’s dialogue has a sparky vigour and the young NYT company inject it with passion and intensity.
Gupta offers a colourful and compelling picture of the mingled excitements and anxieties of modern teenage life… the insight and authenticity that these young actors bring to her play make it truly memorable.'
