Two - "A sharp, salty, quickfire evocation of the surface
gaiety and underlying melancholia of English pub life" - Michael Billington
Bed - "It's insights into the twilight world of old age are remarkable, Cartwright's ode to sleep fizzes with puns and free association and brims with the confidence of a craftsman who can work as happily with surrealism as naturalism as he teases out snippets of life story from the ancient occupants of the bed" - Lyn Gardner
"This extraordinarily gifted and original voice ... populates the space with broad humour, dry wit and often shudderingly moving poetry" - Time Out
"Jim Cartwright is one of the maverick's of British theatre" - Daily Telegraph
