Recenzii

In West's portrait of a soured relationship . . . telling details build only incrementally; by the end, however, the audience has formed a troubling vision of a marriage marred by human weakness and gut-wrenc[h]ing tragedy.
Conservatory is a marvellous play, absorbing, intense and elegant... as a meditation on the disintegration of marriage into a hell of weary familiarity... it paints an exquisitely aware canvas of human frailty and unfulfilled need.
West's writing is remarkable for its restraint. There is no showboating, just a consistent employment of language as neat and cutting as a surgical implement.
