REVIEW: HONOUR BY JOANNA MURRAY-SMITH

EMMA BELL, STAGE WHISPERS

"This play is up close and personal. It may hit a tender spot for those who've come close to a situation similar to one of these characters as the delivery is so realistic. It’s a fly on the wall view into the lives of this upper-middle class couple’s exhausting, confronting, yet also tender and poignant journey through life and love."

REVIEW: OUTSTANDING CAST DOES HONOUR TO MURRAY-SMITH PLAY

JENNY BLAIN, ABC ARTS, 5 MAY 2010

"Joanna Murray-Smith's play Honour finds new relevance in a treatment that is intelligent, intelligible and beautifully nuanced."
