What the critics said:
Caroline Kennison as Olive - her performance is nothing short of sensational. One feels every high and low, every twist and turn of this woman’s roller coaster ride as her world comes unraveled. This is without doubt one of the stellar performances of her career.There is so much to celebrate in this landmark production... and it is, without a doubt, a production that will remain long in the memory of the theatre going public of Brisbane. Nigel Munro-Wallis on 612 ABC Brisbane
Sean Mee's in-the-round production puts the audience above and around the action. We can see behind the kitschy trappings of a world that has begun to fade and fray, the torn seams of its furnishings visible beneath a web of nostalgia festooned with toy birds, butterflies and dolls. The Australian
This is the play of the working man, the waiting woman and the unchanging doll, yet the play itself somehow evolved in the Roundhouse Theatre into something that brings a classic into the now. A must-see. Time Off Magazine
