Comments on the Play
I saw the play til death do us part by your company. My father was abusive to my mother all of my childhood. I came ready to hate the play and the performances, but really I had a life changing experience. The script is scarily accurate, totally believable. The actors brilliant sensitive and understanding. As the director said after there is no black and white here. I left the play and called my father. I spoke to him for the first time in 7 years. Thank you.

Fantastic play, I haven't stopped thinking about it or talking about it since I saw it. Brave and bold work.

An unforgettable experience.

I have no words to describe it, an experience unlike any other I have ever had in a theatre.

It is so accurate, as someone who experienced this it meant a lot how the materials was handled. Sensitive, accurate, disturbing and cathartic all at the same time.

Incredible performances - beautifully handled.

The most disturbing aspect is that the play is presented in a way that audience allegiance shifts all the time. That’s a shock, you think you will clearly side with the ‘victim’ but it’s really not that simple.

The language seemed so real, very believable.

Love the way so much history of a relationship came across

Loved the strong characters and the asides from the husband. Liked the tension between them as a couple. Very real.

I like that we are seeing an imperfect relationship from both sides. Feeling sympathy for the abuser as well as the victim is achieved by the writer. Well done.

I like the raw emotion, the fragility of human relationships

I liked the overlapping lines and humour. Well written one liners. You don’t think the topic will allow for the moments of humour.

I like the different take on the same event

Great mix of darkness and light.
