★★★★ ”Simon Kenny’s wonderfully inventive set brilliantly exploits the Watermill’s tiny stage to create the genteel shabbiness of the cramped little house and the railway line it overlooks. The production gloriously celebrates and subverts the filmic possibilities, realising the robbery and subsequent police chase with a miniature coup-de-theatre” What’s On Stage
