"... the show is driven along by Michael John McCarthy’s disturbingly powerful score, a bold, rock-inflected collage of new material and familiar tunes, which borrows from sources including Tom Waits and The Handsome Family to conjure up songs that are brilliantly performed by this multi-talented company, and that reflect the rawness of the emotions unleashed by this strange story of oppression and loss, with just a hint, in the end, of possible redemption." Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
