★ ★ ★ ★
Emma Baggott’s haunting production allows us to concentrate on just how determined Delaney was to avoid turning her two central characters into kitchen-sink heroines from the lower depths

The Times on A Taste of Honey (Royal Exchange)

★ ★ ★ ★
The play has its own jazz rhythm that Baggott perfectly paces – unhurried but never unengaging

WhatsOnStage on A Taste of Honey 

★ ★ ★ ★
Emma Baggott’s production successfully nails the reality of the horribly dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship at its core, while also leaning into the dreamy magic realism in Delaney’s work

The Stage on A Taste of Honey 

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Baggott's new production of The Wonderful World of Dissocia deserves to be packed to the rafters … the hardest I've laughed in a theatre this year

WhatsOnStage on The Wonderful World of Dissocia (Theatre Royal Stratford East)

★ ★ ★ ★
This revival more than stands the test of time in its portrait of mental illness – it is original, brutal, memorable

The Guardian on The Wonderful World of Dissocia 

★ ★ ★ ★
an astonishing lineup of older actors ... brings the house down .. they are moving, courageous and memorable 

The Guardian on Face the Music: The Social Care Workers’ Play (Almeida Theatre)
