Flamboyant, funny and surreal. * Guardian on Medicine * Taut and energetic, frequently bleak, but shot through with touches of absurdist humor... burns with searing honesty... It's chilling, powerful, and unforgettable. * Whatsonstage on Medicine * Enda Walsh's new play is a heartbreaking yet hugely energizing and thrilling journey through one man's troubled past. * Scotsman on Medicine * Takes the stage by storm... It's bizarre, quite extraordinary and mind-boggling. * Broadway Baby on Medicine * Devilishly satirical... cuts disturbingly close to the bone. * Sunday Times on Medicine * In this room echo the ghosts of Ireland's failures: tribunals, institutionalization and complicity. Cruelty is repeated again and again. Only a few a small acts of humanity intervene to mark the passage of time. It is impossible to look away. * The Irish Times on Medicine * Medicine, as directed by Walsh himself, is pitch-perfect, hilarious, terrifying and revelatory. Unforgettable. * The Observer on Medicine *
