There’s A City in My Mind

“The Swing Left has a vividly-edged individuality to each character.”
Oxford Reviews Gate

“Cracking ... Kolonists shows an impressive grasp of Soviet dramatic and political structures ... an informative, well-plotted homage to the Chekhovian tradition.”

“Homestead is that rare thing, a play based on another play which has a new, fresh, legitimate voice of its own.”
British Theatre Guide

“Dykes' interpretation of Lorca's La casa de Bernada Alba is a triumph.”
The Stage (UK)
