What the Critics are saying…

“April is Over is deeply original but performed with a vigilant subtlety. Simple but considered elements combine in perfect harmony to create an intense, introspective atmosphere, which allows you to completely understand the character, whilst learning about yourself too. Almost hypnotic in its transfixion, April is Over is different to anything else you’ll see this Fringe, and I absolutely love it.”
