REVIEWS

‘A wonderfully witty way to show we all hide secrets don’t we? And we only like to let those special few in on it. Well, I think the smart thing to do here is wonder why Paul Smith hasn’t shared this secret with us before. I could reveal the ending but I prefer to leave it a secret for now. You have to read it yourself. Or better still, produce it and let more people in on the secret that this is a charmer.’ – John Busser on New Play Exchange

One can’t help but smile, and then giggle, and then laugh out loud when the twist is revealed in this fizzy and fun encounter between a nun and a vicar when they meet at that ubiquitous park bench. Charming, touching, and a fitting conclusion to this series of charming, touching short plays. – Doug DeVita on New Play Exchange
