Saskia Baron The Arts Desk I wish Mortimer had had more faith in the power of her witnesses voices alone, but I admire her dedication to telling their story. Rated: 3/5 May 26, 2022 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf [Roz] Mortimer's adaptation of the myth of the Deathless Woman here becomes vitally political, creating a harrowing and spectral account of the tyranny imposed upon the Roma.
