“Recollection offers a wondrous wealth of well-directed, tightly written scenes, featuring first-rate performances, and a thoughtfully complex exploration of grief, queer love and parenthood.”
★★★★½ Kate Mulqueen, Artshub

“Ketels' script is both charming and warm, reflecting our socio-political zeitgeist with well-placed local wit and skilled comedic timing from Keating and Holohan.”
★★★★ Nina Culley, Time Out
“it’s a piece that has – and will have – an impact far beyond its apparent aims. It will start conversations. It will prompt the sharing of secrets and the exchange of deeply buried memories.”
Chris Boyd

“a tender, funny and achingly vulnerable portrayal of first love.”
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
