"Fanny Robin is certainly the most beautiful and original short contribution to the English stage since Britten's church parables." - Ian Robertson, Classical Music
"I enjoyed this work for its human touch, its gently Hardyesque comedy and above all, its clever and apt use of modern compositional techniques." - The Sunday Times
