Some Woman

'Theatre has been crying out for this for so long and, hurrah, at last here it is: the great (peri)menopause play... luckily for us Helen Edmundson has bucked the trend with her blast of a new drama... every furious menopausal woman should watch this'

* iPaper *

'A gripping thriller about a middle-aged woman whose bad day turns into a nightmare... This is feminist theatre that serves justice to its case'

* Time Out *

'Brilliantly nuanced... sharply-written, impactful scenes... intensely convincing... a surprising and effective conclusion... tense and engrossing'

* WhatsOnStage *

'A ragged howl of protest against a culture of violence, exploitation and suppression'

* The Stage *

'A play for our Kafkaesque times... a damning evocation of a society mired in misogyny'

* Telegraph *

'A story that feels horribly timely'

* London Standard *

'Exceptional writing... Edmundson expertly weaves a narrative of a chain reaction... carefully unravelling the story one layer at a time to reveal a multifaceted story that continuously reveals hidden themes and even more depth, astonishingly so... an incredible writer, and what Edmundson has achieved here is nothing short of magnificent... feels very timely and thought-provoking... a fantastic example of how perfect theatre can be... raw and unflinching... truly one of the most striking plays of the year'

* All That Dazzles *

'Some Woman is some play!... heartbreaking... truly powerful and tender'

* Liam O'Dell *

'Gripping theatre that keeps you on the edge of your seat... Edmundson's writing is excellent... the ending is genius... a play about how much women are expected to absorb, how alone they can be when things go wrong and the personal cost of not staying quiet'

* British Theatre Gui
