“A very worrying and ultimately tragic story, lightened with humour. People need to know what #UniversalCredit is doing to people - this would lend itself very well to a #film “.

“Loved it, and it actually opened my eyes to the issues with Universal Credit, even though I’m on UC myself, Sharron’s final lines we’re beautiful and hit really close to home - It was really strong, had a good intermix of characteristic types - showed a really good transition of Sharron’s mental state and I wouldn’t mind seeing it adapted into a film, Thanks”.

“A really pertinent topic with both comedy and pathos, so much expressed with a minimal set and props which worked well. Very unexpected and emotive ending….”.

True to life and managed to illustrate the inhumane system, in at times a powerful and dramatic energy as well as lightness and humour”.
