A spectacular adaptation of Andrea Levy's Windrush novel' * Observer * 'Edmundson has a knack for skilfully distilling story... ferociously entertaining' * Time Out * 'A landmark in the National Theatre's history: a tumultuous epic about first-generation Jamaican immigrants... skilfully adapted... one of the most important plays of the year' * Guardian * 'Inspiring adaptation... a gripping state-of-the-nation epic... the show acknowledges struggle and strife on all sides, flies the flag for compassion and achieves a hard-won (and still to be fought for) inclusivity' * Telegraph * 'A passionate engagement with the past that's sure to resonate with audiences at a time when the very idea of Britain is under such fierce scrutiny' * Evening Standard * 'Utterly sensational an engrossing, all-embracing piece of theatre... a staggering achievement' * WhatsOnStage * 'Beautifully translated to stage by adaptor Helen Edmundson, using thrilling theatrical solutions to honour Levy's epic - and still urgent - tale... a stirring spectacle that never loses sight of the people at its heart' * Broadway World * 'What a huge-hearted achievement this is, a sweeping, captivating dramatisation... thrilling in its scope and exquisite in its detail... Helen Edmundson's adaptation feels at once effortlessly epic and delicately intimate' * iNews *
