‘A first-class, chilling drama ★★★★★’ One4Review

‘Unmissable… this psychological thriller plays with your mind and emotions ★★★★’ Broadway Baby

‘Black Mirror vibe… intriguing, creepy & heart wrenching’ ★★★★Voicemag

‘This was just brilliant – I couldn’t recommend it more! ★★★★’ BHC Radio

‘Highly Recommended… a well-crafted tale told with skill, passion and tremendous attention to detail…. Barton subtly reminds us that many of Hazzard’s ideas about cleansing the body have modern echoes in the more extreme diets peddled by modern Linda Hazzards… it is a well crafted tale told with skill, passion and tremendous attention to detail.’ Fringe Review

‘This is a pleasingly pacy tale, an unpretentious examination of one of America’s lesser-known cranks.’  The cast are ‘well served by some surprisingly witty lines in the script.’ The Scotsman

‘An intense dark drama, made all the more chilling due to the authenticity of its roots…entertaining and original… the sharp and witty sibling banter pings back and forth with ease.’ The Skinny

‘Hazzard is a thrilling villain and this is an absorbing look at how far she was willing to go in her quest for power and respect.’ Three Weeks Review

‘One of the most professionally acted productions I’ve seen this fringe.  Fast is a thrill and a joy to watch from start to finish; able to disturb and entertain in equal measure… the tension never lets up!’ T. Jaffray @theSpaceUK

‘The complexity and maturity of Kate Barton’s writing is beautifully complemented by Caroline Lawrie’s terrifying yet charismatic performance… an absolute highlight of the Fringe.’ G. Taylor @theSpaceUK

‘4**** shockingly intense!’ edfringeharris

‘Brilliant theatre… go see this!’ P. Silver @theSpaceUK

‘One of the stand-out performances I saw at the Fringe.  The dialogue was crisp and funny and never lagged, the characters were intriguing and the subtle themes (women’s oppression, the quackery of Big Pharma medicine, to name just a couple) made me think about the story long after the lights had dimmed.’ M. Merritt @theSpaceUK

‘Chilling, gripping and excellently written. 10/10’ J.Whitby @theSpaceUK
