TESTIMONIALS AND REVIEWS
​
​​​​'Thomas-Howes' biting script is an engaging new two-hander. It's relatively easy to script a piece of catty dialogue but A Partnership has volumes more insight than this. The characters are truthful, with a well-structured sense of history and as the tension builds it is impossible to second-guess the outcome.'
