'Funny, slick and fiendishly clever' * The Times * 'A high-energy, beautifully-presented inquiry into the mysteries of the universe... subversive and powerful... successful, inspired, and wonderful in equal measure' * Theatre Weekly * 'Intellectually fizzing' * Time Out * 'A smart feminist take on the mysteries of the physical universe and the eternal limits of science... Howlett, who also directs, has built a fluid, ever-shifting production that spins her ideas with a dazzling lightness of touch... a collage of truth and illusion, one that embraces the existential fear of always having more to learn about an evasive universe... Aether is never less than accomplished' * Guardian * 'A tour de force of theatre... sheer brilliance' * Indiependent * 'A head-spinningly clever meditation on quantum physics, humanity's obsession for discovery and history's habit of forgetting female scientists... the smartest hour of theatre at the [ Edinburgh] festival' * The Stage * 'Strikingly original, with flashes of genius' * Broadway World * 'A thrilling exploration of the theatrical medium... Howlett's writing is inspired... razor-sharp and ingenious at every possible moment... she squeezes in intellectual jokes that everyone can enjoy... this is a play you won't stop thinking about for a very long time... truly remarkable' * All That Dazzles * 'Full of wit and wonder' * Everything Theatre * 'Intelligent, engaging and hugely likeable... revelatory and wholly original' * West End Best Friend *
