THE
INDEPENDENT - Paul Taylor (Paper does not carry

“truly a rare piece of theatre. Intense,
challenging and moving, everyone should see this play….Jack is played
passionately by Jonathan Moore…he does so brilliantly and is mesmerising
for every second of the eighty minute play….With skilful use of rhyme and
repetition Paul Sellar has created a piece of modern day prose that is as
beautiful and touching as it is honest and uncompromising. …2Graves should
be held up as an example of what a play should be…one of the best pieces
of theatre this year.”
