PRESS
“Vox Motus have created a spine-tinglingly serious treatise on what the imagination might be capable of if we only let our demons out.”
The Herald ★★★★
“It’s as if The Infamous Brothers Davenport is pulling a sleight of hand on us. We come to the theatre in search of spiritual truth, but find only flying tambourines and levitating tables. The show dazzles and delights, makes us laugh and jump, but stops short of giving us the insight into mortality it promises. And that may be the point.”
The Guardian ★★★★
“Arnott and the Lyceum and Vox Motus teams have created a profoundly resonant and deeply human play.”
The Edinburgh Reporter ★★★★
