The Women of Llanrumney Reviews

'Blistering... conceptually brilliant, with complex characters and a fearless cast... a remarkable examination of women under colonialism... searing... unambiguously contemporary... Oforka is an urgent and important voice in Welsh theatre'

* Guardian *

'Searing, subtle, nuanced, illuminating, funny, and, above all, thought-provoking'
