"Lyrically, Flasse’s compositions flesh out the characters’ concerns with their bodies, first in despair and ultimately in celebration. Melodically, they bring to mind the territories mapped out by the likes of The Raincoats and The Au Pairs; post-punk with a serrated sweetness. In this respect, the pivotal song, and the one that moves the first night audience to spontaneous applause, swings the scythe of sarcasm at the limitations of the medical model, sneering “mental health is not political, it’s a problem of the individual”. Dealing as the production does with bodies both political and literal, the note of protest in its songs is complemented by the necessary physicality of its theatre."
