'Dead Heart is Australian history in the making, as In the Heat of the Night was for America in the sixties ... Dead Heart touches the near extinct life that just beats beneath Australian society ...' - The Times, London
'Dead Heart ... asks how blacks and whites can continue with different value systems ... The question is a burning one not only in Australia but in every other country where multicultural identities come into conflict.' - Time Magazine
'A fantastic, totally unforgettable production.' - The Observer, London
'... the force and impact of Dead Heart (is) in it's devastating lack of resolution; and its tough minded complexity.' - the Sun Herald, Sydney
