"Dunkley shows the impact of the war... with effective simplicity… an 80-minute drama that offers no simple moral choices but movingly conveys the corrosiveness of conflict." The Times on Mirita

“This random mixture of absurdity and violence makes Dunkley’s play so believable…” The Guardian on How to Tell the Truth

“Fine, focused writing, which pushes the story forward with every exchange, yet never settles for anything pat. Wonderful." Time Out on Mirita

"This tremendously moving indictment of war deserves as wide an audience as possible." The Stage on Mirita

"This sharp and gripping play... the perfect antidote to the warlike bluster of politicians and the hand-wringing impotence of the rest of us. Mirita is a study of the absurd clockwork of human survival. It could hardly provide more timely theatrical therapy." WhatsOnStage on Mirita

“Chris Dunkley’s adaptation… has genuine panache.” The Guardian on Almost Blue
