Reviews
"Clarke and Caswill have created and intense, complex experience in the evocative setting of a church at night."

- Sydney Star Observer


"...interesting and unique in its structure and design. It neatly encapsulates the life of Lorca and his words drip enticingly off the tongues of the performers."

- theprogram.com


"Incorporating the chorus of washerwomen from Yerma as a story telling device is a great idea. In fact, there are several good ideas here, from the unusual setting to the casting of three women in the roles of Lorca and his artistic compadres, Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali."

- Sydney Morning Herald


"The lighting is gothic eye-candy, as pews cast crossed shadows down the aisle. The Spanish guitarist sets the scene and keeps the pace. The audience is seated in the altar, looking at rows of empty pews... One wonders if the church owners saw the production before they approved it. It's evilly gratifying to see [all this] in front of a Catholic altar."
