"Brilliantly adapted by Michael Butt.  What this sensitively directed production succeeds in putting across is the complicated working of memory.  By giving us layers of sound, superimposing old voices over new conversations, fading dialogue in and out, mixing past and present, director John Taylor gives Proust the richness, the texture, the subtlety and variety of a classic bouillabaisse."

Sue Arnold - OBSERVER

Elisabeth Mahoney GUARDIAN

"An incredibly animated world...the soundtrack, the layers of sound, the collage of sound... the way that sound is interwoven through past and present becomes magical, and it really has a very strong attention to texture. The editing, I think, is masterful."
