Tony Grady - The Belgrade Theatre Coventry.
"...full of subtle use of dramatic action, image and object, rather than words, to carry meaning. To give an example: the boy and girl feeding each other chocolate. I would say that this short sequence contains all of the ambiguities, contradictions and ambivalence of their relationship at this point-."
