" The set is brilliantly conceived and all the action takes place around a single sofa that manages to confer both the intimacy of the exchanges and the isolation of each individual's life. "

This Is Bath, Western daily Press

" It (a huge white sofa) is the only visible piece of furniture and looks supremely comfortable but at the same time unnerving, even threatening, because designer Garance Marneur has inserted along its seams neon tubing that outlines its shape in brilliant white. It's hard to grasp why this should be so very unsettling but unsettling it is [...] An exciting evening. "

The Times ****

" Garance Marneur's lusciously simple set. "

WhatsOnStage ****

" Theatre should entertain, educate and provoke debate. 'Herding Cats' [...] is an intelligent, elegant, well-crafted and often uncomfortably funny play that does all three. "

Venue

" What a brave, brutal 75 minutes from Lucinda Coxon [...] See it, and shudder. "

Guardian ****

" Garance Marneur's giant sofa set works well, swamping the characters and making them appear as lost as they feel. "
