Reviews: Forget Me Not “A small masterpiece from the frontline of humanity” *****Time Out Hir “Williams cultivates a real sense of empathy for every character…Hir is an unstoppable, overwhelming, genuinely exciting play…a riot of ideas, a socio-political tragicomedy. It’s unmissable.” *****Time Out
