"Tears flow at pathos of fine production - Sarah Boon does a commendable job in the lead role, demonstrating range, control and appealing diction" - APN
"The heroine Rachel Brooke-Taylor is played expertly and believably by Sarah Boon - who is convincing both as doctor and real life person underneath" - Fairfax
"Sarah Boon, who "was" the 53rd victim, narrated the story and stepped in to act out scenes. Her transitions were exceptional, totally, knife-cuttingly sharp. The many emotions she walked, no ran through, within single monologues were top class and incredibly believable. Gayle Dowsett, Sweet Pea Productions
Maria Satterfied - Hollee Cow Productions
Gayle Dowsett - Sweet Pea Poductions
