Reviewsgate: ‘Touching and inspiring…well written, skilfully done’.

 

Reviews Hub: ‘The four actors completely inhabit their characters to such an extent that it’s hard to imagine that Jack, Samuel, Alicia and Tami are not playing themselves…under Mike Robertson’s lights, Safe looks stunning too’.
