Review - Metro
We also got this 4 star review in the Metro on the 14th July by David Baldwin:
A word of warning for any staunch Welsh patriots: you might want to steer clear of this new play from proud cynic Gary Owen. Although the nation it's set in is never referred to as Wales, the political backbiting and rants against the pathetic arrogance of its people have very obvious targets. Like a stage-bound episode of BBC satire The Thick of It, curses and accusations fly in a razor-edged script given life by a fine cast of four. Steffan Rhodri's First Minister is the standout, a man who believes in the freedom of the people but can't believe in the people themselves.
Which is great- but we did have a number of staunch Welsh patriots in who absolutely loved it!

Hold on - but I'm a staunch Welsh patriot.
Aren't I?
