Her work in the second and third acts is beautiful to watch" (Weekend Notes) "The dominant performance is that of Vaishnavi Suryaprakash, whose portrayal of Clearday founder Priya is a storm of aggressive girl-boss energy..." (Scenestr) "Suryaprakash sets the tone with a performance that flirts with satirical exaggeration without going there, and is viscerally and amusingly physical as well as being vocally incisive" (Sydney Morning Herald) "Colin Friels is surrounded by a strong cast, who play several roles. Vaishnavi Suryaprakash is particularly impressive as Andrea Sarti (here rewritten as a girl), who is taught by Galileo as a child and becomes one of his followers..." "Vaishnavi Suryaprakash plays at least four parts, each to perfection" (Stage Whispers)
