Shotgunned

'A real gem… astonishingly accomplished, with a deft structure, fully formed characters and naturalistic dialogue that is frank and funny without ever feeling forced… [an] achingly moving two-hander'

* The Stage *

'Utterly engaging and believable... pure joy... it melted my heart'

* Theatre Weekly *

'Funny, heartfelt and refreshingly honest, Shotgunned is a beautifully written play about the people who shape us, even when they don't stay... Anderson has a brilliant ear for dialogue, finding humour in everyday awkwardness without ever undercutting the emotional weight of the story. Conversations feel lived-in, recognisable and genuinely funny, making the more heartbreaking moments land all the harder. It's an assured piece of writing that never tries too hard to manufacture emotion—it earns it'

* Theatre & Tonic *

'Empathetic, heartfelt and endearing all at once'

* West End Best Friend *

'A witty and gentle reminder that love can be janky, quiet and fleeting, but that does not make it any less powerful... The writing glows with emotional nuances and a clinical view of the messiness, vulnerability and desires which define young relationships'

* The Skinny *

'Beautifully constructed... a touching, funny and heartfelt piece of theatre that takes on the messiness of modern life'
