Critic Reviews:

• " The Current War is an experience evocative of the most inventive decade in history. " – Jorge Loser

• " The Current War is highly stylised and edited for pace, ensuring that even the most obtuse teen will be carried along by the bombastic staging and heightened performances. " – Ed Whitfield
