“Robert Holman is the quiet man among modern British dramatists ... an outstanding work that sings with truth” - Michael Billington
“Robert Holman’s Across Oka is about metamorphosis and manipulation
in the lives of passionate, gentle people in north Yorkshire and eastern
Russia, the first open to all experience, the second constrained
by the discipline of an enclosing state ... alive
with theatrical confrontation and generosity of spirit” - Michael Ratcliffe,
