'A lean, intimate triptych about language and love… in debbie tucker green's hands the stop-start patterns of everyday speech, interrupted thoughts and broken sentences, hesitations and repetitions, becomes a kind of poetry… a play about listening as much as it is talking, about speaking and not being heard; it’s a play about love, but also about bodies, the pleasures they can bring and the ways they can fail'
