doesn't let us regret a minute spent in her company"
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
"Impressive still as an actress,,,,Slips in and out
of numerous impersonations...all vividly evoked..."
FOUR STARS **** THE SCOTSMAN
Vividly staged...captures with an eloquence of the body,

that carries her through those sometimes agonising adventures"
THE HUFFINGTON POST
Manchester Girl breathes stoic affirmation for women in
search of self in an undertow of uncertainty.
It dazzles the mind and spirit.
Academy Award winning editor Richard Harris is
in charge of major technicalities blending moving and photographic images as
projectionist.
Harris gives great backdrop and vision to Cray's manifesto
destiny and in this case the Titanic does not sink. It soars!
