AUDIENCE RESPONSE TO GENTLE THINGS
"A production that never ran out of imagination"
"Beautiful to see language and imagery that portrays and represents ideas around gender and non binary existence"
"Most exciting and moving play I have seen in recent years"
"Rach Horner's words are so tastefully chosen, delicate and edible and delightful. Their work feels like poetry, like something worth savouring slowly. Reading and performing Gentle Things has been such a gorgeous experience, as they tell stories that myself, as a non binary person, long to hear and see. There is something incredibly exciting about Rach's work."
