"Wow, 5 STARS ☆☆☆☆☆ Just seen this amazing piece of articulate writing turned into a play. What can i say, it's simply brilliant. With its darkly humorous and thought provoking script , this tremendous piece of Irish theatre is perfectly executed and an absolute must see. The performances were superb throughout and i left the theatre uplifted and craving so much more from such a talented writer. We need a motion picture of this. Congratulations to all involved ."

"The most bizarre but meaningful found family I’ve seen on stage."
"The most bizarre but meaningful found family I’ve seen on stage. This play subverts the typical zombie trope by making each character unique, complex individuals. While their minds are very much still intact, through Freya, and even Colm towards the end of the play, we see that the ability to hold on to one’s identity and sense of self is not a passive act, nor is it a given- you have to fight for it. Such a good play! I’d see it again."

"I would go see this piece again and again and want everyone I know to see it too."
"What an incredible journey this play brings you on. From laughing to crying, to contemplating our own eventual death, but mostly laughing, you can't help but get tangled up in the character's touching backstories and friendships that we all crave for in life. It reminds you of the inate goodness of humanity despite being surrounded by a world impossible for them to live in. This was my second time to watch this play, and I still am surprised by how clever, silly and touching it is. The cast knocked out out of the park. The choreography was beautiful and effortlessly led you through the story. I would go see this piece again and again and want everyone I know to see it too. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this piece to life!"

"I need this to be made into a movie."
"I never go to plays because I've always found them boring (sorry) but my friend goes to loads and convinced me to go because she said this ones meant to be funny. And I'm so glad I did. Because this was insanely good. The best I've ever seen really. My friend was right about it being funny but it was also really deep and the entire look was cool and polished like a movie. I didnt know theatre could be like this. I need it to be made into a movie. You should think about it because it would do so well."
