Recenzii

Room soars! Visually arresting and emotionally rich, Emma Donoghue's Room is boldly realised for the stage . harrowing . astonishingly moving.
Emma Donoghue's adaptation of her novel works beautifully onstage, and the songs capture heightened moments with sensitivity. A story of survival and love - something we all need to hear more of at this time.
The most striking thing about Emma Donoghue's stage version of her award-winning novel, Room, is its intense imaginative quality. Kathryn Joseph's songs, co-written with Cora Bissett, burst from the texture of the play like some heightened form of speech. The story of Room is in some ways a harrowing one, that brings many in the audience to tears. Yet it is also a tremendously beautiful, vivid and uplifting show about the power of a mother's love
Haunting and reflective music and lyrics. They emerge naturally from the narrative . Compelling viewing (even in you know the ending.) This coproduction. is a triumph
A strangely moving work about the power of imagination and the pain of adjustment to a new reality. . I found the prospect of the play intimidating. In the end, I was deeply touched by its testament to human resourcefulness
