‘A work that suggests a major talent … one of my plays of the year’ - WhatsOnStage, *****
‘An astonishing debut … Ambitious, astute and utterly gripping, Some Demon demonstrates precisely why the industry needs to actively invest in developing new voices … full of one-line zingers that help make this play simultaneously educational, informative and hugely entertaining.’ - The Telegraph ****
"Waldren peels back the many layers of optimism, anxiety, denial and resentment that turn designer Anisha Fields’ bleakly impersonal split-level set into a tinder box’ - The Stage ****
