  Reviews for Peter Morris’ The Age of Consent:

“This 70-minute play would alone have been worth a trip to Edinburgh….Morris’s play open up a moral minefield… Thrillingly, shatteringly effective… if you are not shocked by it, you have not understood it’
John Peter, The Sunday Times

“A brilliantly developed piece that begins by making you laugh and ends by making you shudder”
Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph

“Brilliantly constructed….Morris…has a sharp Orton-like ear…”
Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard

“Dread-filled, funny, and perceptive.. a stunning evening.”
Rhoda Koenig, The Independent

“Drama at its most gripping….There’s a sensitivity and finesse to the writing that has you hanging on every word.”
Dominic Cavendish, The Daily Telegraph
