Media Reviews
"It is the author's willingness to frame his love and anguish so piercingly that makes ETHEL & ERNEST such a singular piece of work. As our memory of pre-Niketown Britain fades, we should be grateful that Raymond Briggs is so brilliantly equipped to remind us of what we used to be, and why."
