About Get Up & Tie Your Fingers
‘A delicate and touching piece of storytelling theatre. A distinctive play of deceptive simplicity. The beautifully understated writing sings with sincerity. Enormously affecting. Wonderful, heartwarming and tough.’
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
‘A bittersweet play – a tender celebration – the lyrical writing bubbles with emotion yet never spills over into sentimentality. An inspiring tale of courage and survival, it convincingly shows that hope can thrive even in the darkest of hours.’
