There are some astonishing ideas in the short half-hour play. . . Through humour, modern imagery and dramatic wizardry the playwright presented a three dimensional woman who was not just a folklorist and author but a woman whose creative energies embraced literature, freedom, marriage, passion, loyalty, responsibility and sadness, and the thousand fragile pieces which make up a human being. The cast presented this new play with confidence and intelligence. They and the playwright were rewarded with, first of all, rapt attention, and then sustained applause." - Ronnie O'Gorman, Galway Advertiser
