★★★★★ Afridiziak / The Recs

★★★★ The Guardian / Time Out / The Stage / Theatre Weekly / Everything Theatre / All That Dazzles / Theatre and Tonic / West End Best Friend / A Young(ish) Perspective

— Girls is a powerful, thought-provoking, and deeply affecting piece of theatre that brings humanity to tragedy beyond the headlines. Uncomfortable, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, Girls is an important production that deserves to be seen and remembered — ALL THAT DAZZLES

— A gut-punch: imaginative, tender, shocking — THE GUARDIAN

— Clever use of the set by Raphaé Memon give the world of the play a strong textual presence — WEST END BEST FRIEND

— Raphaé Memon’s striking design features Nigerian red sand, suspended dried hibiscus flowers and a row of television screens connecting the characters to the world beyond their confinement — THEATRE WEEKLY

— Gripping, affecting, and beautifully achieved — THE STAGE

— Raphaé Memon‘s set and costume design; texture and subtle outfit changes do quiet, devastating work, while the staging itself envelops you without overwhelming you. Overall, the entire production is a masterclass in cohesion — AFRIDIZIAK
