"The performance by Joanne Dakin is exceptional. Dakin's Betty is proud, pragmatic and presents a dominating and surprisingly physical stage presence but when the mood of the piece changes, we are almost too frightened to look away in case she pounces. Gripping stuff!" Paul Vale on Back Seat Betty (reviewer for The Stage).
