> Press: "Mr. McDonagh's great strength is that he combines a love of traditional storytelling with the savage ironic humor of the modern generation..." - The Guardian (UK) 
> 
> "Skull-cracking craic. A twisted & deliciously dark production - witty in all the wrong places & hilarious in all the right ones - it takes a grisly set-up & bookends it with all the simplicities of country life in the early 1990's" - The Herald 
> 
> "judging by the subject matter McDonagh gravitates towards - the body count tends to be significant amid the near-hysterical laughter - it is understandable that he has been dubbed the 'Quentin Tarantino of Irish drama'; his probing of death & violent acts while keeping the banter flowing spiritedly makes him the undisputed bad boy of the Irish stage play."
