  • "Quite a damning admission for a poet, but “Rubbish” left me lost for words. I was so taken in by the psychical preoccupations of the central characters, that I was whisked up in the transcendental dance of tribalism, language and music..."

    - Clifton Redmond, poet

  • "Highly recommend this production in the Dublin Fringe! Engaged and engaging, it challenges reductive conceptions of refugee identity and experience, presenting instead a faceted depiction of one woman's struggles with the ramifications of war. Well worth supporting."

    - Justine Nakase (NUIG)

  • "This company apparently presupposes that the fourth wall, which should be removed, exists not between the stage and the auditorium, but between the theatre and the street, and, through their performance, induces the audience to bring their vision home."

    - Futoshi Sukauchi (UCD)

  • "I want to be visible. I was happy to be in the theatre. It was good to hear the women's voices and stories: For a long time I have been alone. In this group I am happy because I see everyone. I am now more connected to the society of Ireland."

    - Sultana participant WoW project

  • "Well done Outlandish Theatre & Abbey Theatre for opening that electric debate on the housing crisis. Moments I thought a new Abbey riot was sparked."

    - Lian Bell
