"Very hi-tech"
Tim Walker, The Daily Telegraph
"Listened to The Youth of Old Age the other day - it was absolutely brilliant! Knocked spots off anything I've heard on Radio 4 recently... "
Karen Bartholomew
"An entire 'theatre company' devoted to producing edgy avant-guarde radio dramas that the Beeb would be too chicken to broadcast? Now that sounds like my idea of heaven, and The Wireless Theatre Company has done just that. My choice pick has to be The Youth of Old Age, not only for its classy writing, but genius performance by the incomparable Prunella Scales, who never fails to amaze me in everything she does. "
Happy Listener
"It’s a wonderfully witty and warm piece that tells its story with delicious intrigue and compelling characterisation"
Peggy Nuttall, North London Papers
