Published Reviews

"We are all soon seduced by Garth Wingfield's sharp-as-a-scalpel script. A sublimely funny play that crackles, sweeping the audience from the sublimely witty to the tragic. A fluent, well-structured play that also boasts some glorious characterization, demonstrating Mr. Wingfield is at home on the stage. With flare and feeling, this is a play that deserves to travel far."

Evening Standard (London)

"Very witty and charming. Playwright Garth Wingfield turns what a few years ago would have seemed a standard drama about illness into a very persuasive alternative to renting 'Terms of Endearment.' High praise."

What's On (London)

"FOUR STARS (out of five)! Gratifyingly complex. Garth Wingfield has fashioned a sharp, effective, witty play, the most exciting aspect of which is its sophisticated willfulness with theatrical devices."

Metro (London)

"Like Sondheim's A Little Night Music, Are We There Yet? is very much a case of 'whipped cream with knives.' Excellent, elegant writing. This is a funny, delightful and affecting play. See it while you can!"

Rainbow Network (London)
