Financial TimesAirswimming''The structure and writing - admirably clear and unsentimental - both trip the light fantastic too, effortlessly gliding from the desperately funny to the desperately sad.'' GuardianIn Flame''Watching Charlotte Jones''s play, In Flame, is an experience of pleasure virtually unalloyed. It is funny, but with depth; painful, but with delicacy.'' Financial Times''A play about life and death, love and lust, guilt and hope and dreams and the whole damn thing. It has some of the best writing I have come across recently: vigorous, poetic and lethally funny, probing hearts with warmth, compassion and irony.'' Sunday TimesMartha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis''What strikes one is the play''s generosity of spirit and belief in human potential . . . confirms that Jones has a great future.'' GuardianHumble Boy''Sad, very sad: funny, very very funny . . . this is a seriously wonderful play.'' Sunday Times''Rich, original, intelligent, funny and touching . . . I can''t recommend this lovely play too highly.'' Daily Telegraph
