What the press said:

Afridiziak, 4 stars: "Stunningly materially diverse... An explosive production, powerfully revealing that in the case of war, however deeply we dig to discover the when, who and how, there still seems no legitimate answer as to why."

Time Out, 4 stars, Critics' Choice: "...a potent mix of poetry, song and dance soon knits this splintered narrative into something engrossingly complex and starkly beautiful... Its vision of communities founded on myths as fundamental and sustaining as the land is vividly reflected in director/designer Paul Burgess's stunning set... Packing a punch out of all proportion to its length, this production doesn't simplify the cultural fault-lines that were to crack catastrophically in Rwanda. Its un-showy cast bring to life with powerful immediacy the stories of those not able to speak for themselves, full of hurt, loss and hope."

British Theatre Guide: "a powerful production invested with passion, intelligence and care by all involved... The play's end, and the literalising of its title offering the chance to "break bread" with the performers, is a humbling reminder that humans can be very good at companionship and the sharing of tales - simple actions that we often take for granted but should repeat more often."

Nominated for two Off West End Awards, for best set design and best lighting design.

Daedalus's previous projects include Selfish, originally comissioned by The Arches, Glasgow, then re-made for Camden People's Theatre.

"...a huge emotional momentum...a serious, true and compassionate feeling for the human condition in the image-driven age of Big Brother; and a deep musicality about the expression of that feeling that finally becomes irresistible." - Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman on Selfish
