      'This sexy Brazilian one woman show features one of the best solo performances at the fringe... This is Le Cornec's ticket for the big time.'
    • RemoteGoat
      4 Stars: 'Brazilian actress Gael le Cornec is irresistible and we have to fall in love with her - just as the husbands in the apartment block love her. A sensational and eventually a tragi-comic performance.'
    • London Theatre Guide
      'An intelligent, humorous and captivating performance which won over the audience almost instantly. Stirring and highly enjoyable stuff!'
    • SpoonFed
      'Gaёl Le Cornec as Gilda is superb. She prances about the room teasing the guys and gossiping with the women, and fashioning a comic story from her everyday life. Her joviality is charming, but short-lived as she gradually falls victim to physical abuse'.
