Reception
Critics were generally favourable with Michael Billington from The Guardian calling it "highly ambitious" and "biliously funny" while The Daily Telegraph and The Stage also gave it positive reviews.

A performance starring Paul Lavers was held at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage in May 2018.
