Archie Allensby, Everything Theatre
"Cry, Blueberry is very affecting. The stripped back set provides the perfect backdrop for the play, with a desolate oak tree looming on the dimly lit stage – a reminder, perhaps, of the ghosts of a past from which Isaac Solomon Leow has never truly escaped."
Lara Alier, guest critic, The Play's the Thing UK
"This piece actually works because it has a full theatrical experience rather than a self-absorbed monologue...We participate, without feeling invaded."
Chris Omaweng, Londontheatre1
"The predominantly steady rhythm of storytelling heightened the moments of anger and frustration, or joy, or just plain sadness," and "The removal of Blueberry’s makeup is the sort of metaphor about taking the mask off to reveal one’s true self that feels like it’s been done before."
