Reviews:

“the women of the title are surrounded by cardboard boxes. As Katie Lias’s set design makes clear, these are precarious lives, regularly packed up and moved from one military base to the next”

- The Guardian

“Visually, the production is strong. The set and props are cleverly transformed into buses, mountains, and even a war zone, grounding the story in both domestic reality and the looming shadow of conflict. It’s inventive, seamless stagecraft that adds to the emotional intensity without overshadowing the performers. There is a moment in the second act where the stage is showered with poppy petals. It is utterly beautiful and totally befitting of the moment.”

- The Reviews Hub

“set and costume is tightly choreographed and brilliantly effective throughout”

- British Theatre Guide

“Katie Lias’ costumes… are lavish and well chosen – some smart changes, too.”
