"Poignant, powerful and timely."

★★★★
"Nunnery has captured both the zeitgeist of the present – the swirling uncertainty for some brought by austerity and political change, and some of the spirit of the old Everyman in this thought-provoking piece of theatre."

★★★★★
"Magnificent"
"Thrillingly new, a powerful Everyman original that couldn’t have been born anywhere but here and now."
"The Sum might sound like a play about numbers, but it’s a play about people, about Britain, about life."

"The Sum offers us the hope we need to fight back."
"The razor sharp ‘Forgive Me If I Smile (The Day That Maggie Thatcher Died)’, the beautiful ‘One Day I Want To Get Straight’ and the prescient ‘Poverty Knocks’ raise the piece above its contemporaries."
