★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Under Louise Lowe’s irresistible alchemy, facts quickly turn into magic … there’s palpable magic at work in The Book of Names … a remarkable ensemble … jaw dropping to behold … Spellbinding … experienced here in all its tense, glorious, agonising, confusing, violent, suspicious and exhilarating immediacy … One of the best experiences of this or any festival
