Reviews

The play is both moving and charming, with only the final short scene coming across as unnecessary. Hopefully we will be seeing more from the pen of Roy Montgomery.

'Resolution Island'
Michele Burstein, The Press, Monday 8 September 1997

...an adventurous experiment combining different dramatic conventions.... However, references to his personal life were not developed sufficiently for me to empathise with the character. I was largely unmoved by the fate of his ornithological studies as well.
