REVIEW: UGLY MUGS EXPLORES HARROWING REALITIES OF SEX WORK

CAMERON WOODHEAD, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 21 MAY 2014

"It’s a strange, poignant gambit that reminded me a bit of Will Self’s unpretty burlesques, dredging up all the mess of life and desire in a situation that reeks of the opposite. The hard, bare traverse stage, under the hostile buzz of fluoro lights, provides a slashing contrast to Brady’s labile, edgy, sharply observed and deeply human portrayal."
