Reviews
★★★★★
“This ambitious and gut-wrenching play does not shy away from the pain and horror experienced by those impacted by the June 4th massacre. Director Kim Pearce does a phenomenal job cultivating an experience that leaves one feeling that these events are closer to home than Western audiences might think.”

★★★★
“…this is a heartbreaking piece of political theatre that demands us to remember always.”
All That Dazzles
★★★★★
“編劇莊梅岩功力深厚筆觸細膩，她沒有急著敘述六四這個主題，而是耐心地建構了這對暮年夫妻的關係，許多對話很日常也很幽默害觀眾常常邊哭邊笑，在巨大的沉痛裡點綴著生活的俏皮，因為只有當這對夫妻夠真實，恐懼才會顯得真實……《May 35th》單純地呈現了何謂恐懼與噤聲，你沒辦法具體形容卻又如影隨形”

★★★★
“…the courageous play feels urgent to be heard on a global scale - and a sold-out run to four days of packed houses is no doubt the right start…”

★★★★
“The raw emotion of the play tugs at the heartstrings, and it moved this reviewer to tears, as the inhumanity of their own, and their son’s treatment by the State, is a difficult watch. The performances by the Company are brave, as they tell a story that needs to be heard.”
North West End
★★★★
“The actors match each other’s energy from opposite ends. He’s cautious where she is brash, she’s hot-headed where he is reflective. They portray a delightful elderly couple haunted by the unfair death of their child.”
