'Far beyond the clear-sighted documentation of institutional attitudes, this is the examination of one woman's journey through a process. It is a word-dance of seven-times-seven veils, each peeled off, held up to the light and then laid aside until we see Meg, alone in the spotlight, as the curtain comes down. I found myself giving her a standing ovation – Brava! Brava!' - Ann Drysdale
