HALF LIGHT
|
The Irish Mirror: Review
"At once a beautiful exploration of childish imagination and a dip into the darkest depths of the adult psyche... an emotive, funny and adorable play with a few lumps of happy chaos thrown in for good measure - all in all, a great bit of theatre!" |
|
TN2: Review
★★★★ "Half Light breathes life into familiar analogies and metaphors, and is staged with an inventiveness and charm that utterly delights on multiple levels... This is a heartfelt reminder of the power of resilience during difficult times. A beautiful, engaging, and moving piece, Half Light has something to say to the adults and children of today alike." |

★★★★ "clever, funny and utterly engaging... scarily good" |

meg.ie: Review
"Many try and fail to do what Molumby has done here... It’s a remarkably creative yet realistic portrayal of one family’s experience of mental illness... Half Light doesn’t pretend to have all the answers and because of that it triumphs." |
