QUOTES (see PRESS for full articles)
‘This is beautiful, delicate work, a show that hides how craftily it is constructed and how deeply it is felt behind a bright and breezy veneer. I loved it.’
Lyn Gardner (Stagedoor)
‘A moving tender mediation on the passage of time.’
The Australian
‘…this piece is an opportunity to bond, spend time together, and share something significant and powerful.’
A Younger Theatre
‘A Family Outing may be about one family but ultimately it is about every family, and for anyone who ponders questions about the passing of time and our place on the continuum.’
The West Australian
