REVIEWS FOR 'WHO WILL CARRY THE WORD?'

@ THE COURTYARD THEATRE - STUDIO, OLD STREET, LONDON

**** "I cannot remember many works that serve as such vivid testimony to the horrors of Auschwitz...As significant as the testimony, performed here in Natasha Pryce’s courageous production by a committed, 15-strong all-female cast, is that Delbo was a non-Jew whose account destroys revisionist notions of the Holocaust as a Jewish lie. Delbo’s word should be heard." - Jewish Chronicle

*** "Hakan Redjep's repetitive, jagged choreography taps into the lyricism of Delbo's writing affectingly: their violence is matched by economic grace....This is fiercely compelling." Time Out

"This stripped back performance under the superb direction of Natasha Pryce allows the stories - the words - to literally speak for themselves....The all female, multi-cultural cast are vulnerable, raw and exposed in their sensitive handling of the subject matter. Avoiding the temptation to completely breakdown on stage, they portray the strength, courage and solidarity of these women who often didn't even know each other's names. " British Theatre Guide

"Rosa Hoskins’ portrayal of gritty Gina is the strongest performance. She captures the humanity and effervescence of Gina’s true nature, which she doggedly represses in order to survive." - The Stage

"The forced labour in sub-zero conditions is powerfully evoked, as is the bond between the women, and director Natasha Pryce focuses, rightly, on the humanity that prevails in the most inhuman of predicaments." - What's On Stage

"They used the 15 women on stage to provide a physical chorus...I found this very moving and very compelling." - Ian Mulvany discussing the play on 16/06/09's edition of On The Fringe on Resonance FM 104.4
