Reviews for Strawberries in January
'Makes delightful use of the traditional rom-com formula to consider more thoughtful questions about... how real life seldom lives up to the movies... a very clever little show which operates on two levels: light and fluffy on the surface and hard as glass underneath'
Guardian
