"A wonderfully bittersweet comic diary of the years in which a lethally dotty and very smelly old bat parked her unroadworthy vehicle in Bennetts Camden garden, thereby providing him with roughly equal amounts of good journalistic copy and guilty landlord irritation." -Spectator





"Hilarious...A consistently enjoyable entertainment." -The New York Times





"Without doubt, the best new play of en ligne the year." -Daily Telegraph





"Bennetts writing is nimble, ironical, cruel and humane...Gives the West End one of its saddest, funniest, and most distinguished offerings for years." -London Times
