‘Moses Raine’s 50-minute first play is almost indecently bursting with talent... the actors, and Maria Aberg’s direction are tough and flawless.’
Sunday Times
'It is fresh as new-mown hay, and, like Catcher in the Rye, it captures the drift of teenage years... (Raine is) undoubtedly talented.'
The Guardian
‘Spellbinding… exceptional dialogue.’
The Observer
'A 50-minute voyage around the unconscious... a work of mythic archetypes and poetic associations.'
Time Out
'a genuinely arresting portrait of separation and loss.... the production inhabits a shadowy realm where dream merges into nightmare.'
Offtheatre.com
‘a young playwright (who) has a distinctive and energetic authorial voice and something interesting to say… Shrieks of Laughter combines elements of Martin Crimp and Samuel Beckett… Raine has a talent for writing pacy, realistic speech that can be elliptical or meaningful by turns…'
British Theatre Guide
‘An astonishingly assured piece… Judging by this promising debut, I think we will be seeing and hearing a lot more from Moses Raine.’
