"The Madames, rakes, fops and sailors of this time are wonderfully evoked and the erotic adventures and encounters of our heroine vividly realised."

"It is adult and includes a good deal of nudity though nothing too explicit; it’s very rude, often funny, but without ever descending into bad taste."

Deliciously risque play makes lust a big laugh

"Thomas Everchild’s adaptation for the stage catches the essential lusty humour and irreverence of John Cleland’s original book."

"Actress Philippa Hammond is instantly likeable as the much-sought-after Fanny, and brings an unexpected grace and vulnerability to the character."

 "Afterthought Productions have a scorcher of a show on their hands with this one."

Backstage Whispers

"Glimpse is a collection of four one-act plays by Thomas Everchild, all performed by Philippa Hammond. Each monologue delves into a different character and spins a tale which reels the audience in as the dimensions unfold. Hammond expertly places her audience in the scene, deftly moving across centuries and cultures as she embodies the mind and motivations of four women."

Backstage Whispers

"Hammond's best - understated and impressively controlled."

"Hammond excels"

"The writing is taut, wry and understated."

"Glimpse is impressive, and well-named; fleeting moments of subtle theatrical insight."

"Hammond is served well by two three-dimensional, literate and dramatic scripts written by Thomas Everchild and she displays brilliant talent in interpreting them for us. It is spellbinding and entertaining, heart rending and humorous. An hour was all too short. "
