Press Reviews
Andy Mulligan Press Reviews
'[A] simple, funny and very engaging premise ... Mulligan rewrites tragedy as a triumph, and turns the story into a neat way to explore friendship and tolerance.' -- Josh Lacey Guardian
'Mulligan certainly delivers in this extraordinary examination of grief ... A highly original, emotionally-charged black comedy/thriller. A worthy successor to Mulligan's excellent Trash.' -- Sally Morris
