Phyllis Stephen, The Edinburgh Reporter, 22nd May 2018Louise Reay: Eraserhead review
While the show might not be what Louise had envisaged, the result is an engagingly raw and ramshackle show that allows Louise to showcase her quick wit and charm.

Alex McCord, Broadway Baby, 22nd May 2018Louise Reay: Eraserhead review
