Reviews
"Treatment is one of the most vibrant and astonishingly truthful pieces of theatre to have emerged in recent years. Moore writes and performs with passion and intensity and possesses an extraordinary mature talent."
Drama Magazine
"Watching this play, I had some idea what a sense of discovery spectators must have had that May night in 1956 when 'Look Back in Anger' exploded onto stage."
Boston Phoenix
"Deals with the raw violence of street-fighters with a starkness and purity seldom encountered in the theatre. A daring and poetic use of language."
Time Out Magazine
"This explosive drama which rocks... with its violence and energy..."
The Independent
"Moore's artistry lies in the delicate weave of realism and ritual... At home with both the male and female sensibility, Moore weaves magic."
Toronto Globe and Mail
"For the first time on TV - fact or fiction - here is a drama which enables us to take a glimpse inside the mind and morality of football fans... remarkable, sharp and frightening."
The Daily Express
"The most exciting piece of theatre now in town."
Toronto Now Magazine
"Moore's Miracle Treatment!"
London Evening Standard
"Theatre at its best!"
Financial Times
"One of the most disturbing and exhilarating plays in London."
