"This was a direct adaptation of the recent National Theatre production but this brief, spare collage off shocking images and appropriately Pinteresque dialogue is perhaps better suited for television than the stage."

Andrew Hislop, The Times, 12 December 1988.

"There's a tension in Pinter's directing of his own work, too. Something I haven't seen on the stage, I think, for a long, long time. He brings something very special as a director of his own work."

Christopher Cook, Kaleidoscope, BBC Radio 4, 20 October 1988.
