PRESS QUOTES FOR ZANETTI PRODUCITONS

WINNER! SCOTSMAN FRINGE FIRST

 

★★★★ "Impressive one-hander that unearths a family secret that blurs the lines between reality, memory and much more...you'll be grateful if you're sat with your back against the wall." The Skinny

 

★★★★ "Unnerving from the earliest moments, the piece never goes where you expect and this quality of a constantly shifting narrative combined with a quiet humour is what makes the piece so riveting." Reviews Hub
