PRESS

"There is an individuality and complexity to one’s mental illnesses ... Surfacing isn’t afraid to express the beauty behind such a scenario, however controversial that may be.” LIAM O’DELL

"Fearless in its attempt to broach the subject of mental health and using non-naturalistic techniques to denote the universal susceptibility of self-doubt." BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL

“The piece is inventive – and takes the risks that bold theatre-making requires.” ONCE A WEEK THEATRE

“One of the first shows to push the boundaries of what the spectrum of mental health consists of.” THE UPCOMING

“An unusual production, and one that explores neurodiversity…with significant creativity.” LONDON THEATRE 1

“It simply and effectively illustrates the experience of losing control of your own thoughts, of being surprised and scared by the contents of your own mind.” DISABILITY ARTS ONLINE
