“I was captivated from start to finish. Cassie is a phenomenal storyteller. I could practically feel the rain that she conjured. We were lulled by the elegance of her writing and wit into an unforgettable story of raw pain, fury and fragility. I was floored.” - Phoebe Waller Bridge (FleaBag)
“Workman has created a thing of beauty”. – The Scotsman
★★★★★ “Unmissable.” – The Guardian
★★★★★ “At times it is hard to know whether it is Cobain or Workman that needs to be saved, the show is about both of them and neither of them, it is about being alive, facing death and trying to understand it all. There is something healing about the show, an invitation to let yourself feel.” - A Young(ish) perspective
