"Carol Ann Duffy brings a major's poet's ear to the music of the text... The uncategorisable brilliance of this show... therapeutically unkinks your brain and lets you hear at the end a more reverberant and ionised silence. It's a political intervention; not a retreat into aesthetics. Roll on the next instalment." - Independent (UK)
