Press

If Pauline pretending to look as though she is enjoying Joyce's Ulysses isn't enough to get you laughing, just wait until you see what else is in store as Stefan Golaszewski's exquisite comedy inches forwards. Everyone is hungover after a birthday party that saw Cathy fall asleep on Michael's shoulder. Will she ever live it down?
