'Works a treat... The Lyric breathes fresh life into Roald Dahl's horror stories.'
***** Sunday Telegraph

'For those who relish an evening of short, sharp shocks, this may be just the ticket.'
Guardian

'This perfectly crafted quintet of mordant melodramas is ghoulishly satisfying.'
Sunday Times

'Glides with a grin through a series of exquisitely warped scenes.'
Observer

'Findlay's direction is witty and precise... Dyson's additional dialogue is clever and funny.'
The Times

'An evening of sadistic fun and juicy revenge... Findlay and her cast build up the tension deliciously.'
Financial Times

'Moments of knee-clenching tension.'
Daily Mail

'Squirts of tormenting humour and pinches of the grotesque.'
Evening Standard

'Wickedly amusing.'
Mail on Sunday

'Startling moments.'
