"The alluringly strange and spangly show... is not solely about ecological catastrophe. It's about self-destruction as learned behavior through generations of safeguarding failures."
"Domestic violence is not a theme you might expect from Hothouse, a climate change play... that's what Barbara did for years and years, staying with her violent husband."
"It's like a riff on Philip Larkin's enduring poem This Be the Verse... except that it takes cleareyed exception to Larkin's grim final lines."
"Hothouse is a lament for the present and an elegy for the past that keeps alight a flame of hope for the future."
