For The Public Good by Alice Josephs

"A very powerful play"
Angus Stickler reporter BBC Today & Newsnight

"Josephs does a good job of interpolating the modern characters' interrogations with the past's ghosts acting
out the events. Burns bounces from evil nurse to guilty conscience with ease."

Celebritney by Heather Johnston

"More of a drama than the comedy the RZ was hoping for, and yet it still works. It manages to stay amusing throughout."
