Caroline Framke Variety Snatches all at once is a jarring, even upsetting experience -- but then again, that's the point... each woman demands her audience's full attention, having rarely been afforded the luxury of such consideration before. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Susannah Butter London Evening Standard If this sounds worthy, it's not - it's too clever for that. And each episode is just 15 minutes long (perfect for short millennial attention spans). Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman Not only were they on the stagey side, they were also on the joyless side, being issue-driven rather than character-led. Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut A series of eight 15-minute monologues, each reflecting on a specific "moment" in history over the last 100 years as it impacted women's lives. The series was commissioned by BBC to mark the anniversary of women's suffrage. Rated: 4/5 May 10, 2021 Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) All were powerful, in ways both shocking and witty, but I was reminded of the tremendous power that a good actor can lend by simple quality Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) Snatches is little more than a fig leaf, a series of curiously indigestible monologues featuring women who, strangely, don't feel real at all.
