?INCOMING by Andrew Motion at HighTide Festival 2011
‘A good, honourable work that shows Motion has a gift for drama.’ The Guardian
‘The stricken face of Penny Layden, who play Steph, the widow at the heart of Motion’s play, hauntingly expresses the confusion and misery we imagine after such a death’ The Times
‘Finely acted and sensitively directed’ The Stage
‘…a suddenly savage Danny, lends a powerful voice to the rage felt by all who share Motion’s anger’ The Times
‘A cracking debut play, Incoming has clearly demonstrated Motion’s ability to transfer from poet to playwright.’ A Younger Theatre
'Penny Layden makes Steph's whirlpool of conflicting emotions absolutely credible and ultimately very moving' WhatsOnStage ****
INCOMING at Latitude Festival 2011
'There was some particularly striking new work in the theatre tent. Incoming, the first play by poet Andrew Motion about a ghost returning to his lover, started as Truly, Madly, Deeply and ended as a scathing attack on British policy in Afghanistan.' ?Evening Standard
'Conjuring up powerful images of death, suffering and love, Motion’s first play clearly demonstrates his aptitude as a playwright.' The Stage Online
