The play was widely praised by critics for its depiction of addiction, and Denise Gough, in the central role, won the Critics Circle Theatre Award for Best Actress. The production transferred to Wyndham's Theatre in 2016. Denise Gough won the Olivier Award for Best Actress for her role.[1] The production toured the UK with Lisa Dwyer Hogg as Emma from September 2017 and transferred with Gough to St. Ann's Warehouse in New York City in October 2017.
