Review excerpts for (the) Woman include:
‘Shocking… whiplash-inducing… a well-orchestrated metatheatricality, creating the thrilling sense that the play is being written live… bold and unapologetic… Men should see this, too’. (The Stage)
‘Exceptional… shines a light into those places, those feelings that are often kept hidden… Comic, touching and incredibly thought-provoking… It’s rare to find a piece that might genuinely change your perspective on life and relationships, but this is one’. (Reviews Hub)
All The Little Lights was nominated Best Play for the 2019 OFFIES and for the 2017 Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Awards; it was joint winner of the 2016 George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright. Jane received a bursary from the Peggy Ramsay Foundation and was shortlisted for CBBC New Voices Initiative.
