REVIEWS
“Void allows the often suppressed topics of mental health a space to be voiced and explored. The play is raw but treats the topic with an acquired sensitivity.”
Dr Parvinder Shergill
“Dialogue is beautifully written and the script as a whole is really strong. ‘Void’ bridges the line of emotionally shaking you up, with raw dark moments, then with awkwardly comedic points of relief. Afterward, leaving you wanting to know more about these complex and rich characters.”
Mai Elphinstone & Raquel Cipriano – R Creatives
“Void depicts the loneliness and fear which can come hand in hand with feeling like you are the only one who experiences these feelings. I can only hope that in the future more theatre will begin to make space for the honesty of living with mental health struggles in the way Void does.”
