\u201cfull of twists and turns and complemented by fluid, clever writing\u2026..Ross writes with confidence, with a fresh look at the status quo\u201d<\/em> \u2013 The British Theatre Guide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs well as being very pertinent, They Won\u2019t Kill You is fast paced and very funny.\u201d-<\/em> Socialist Worker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
