Suzy Wrong of Suzy Goes See wrote: "The cast of five embodies that mystery well, willing to be looked at but not really seen, with performer Sheree da Costa leaving a particularly strong impression, full of mesmerising intensity and admirable physical discipline."
Sheree made her directorial debut with 'RED YELLOW BLUE', written by her late son Joseph, for Short+Sweet Sydney 2022, which won Judges Choice for Week 1. Lynn Belvedere of Sydney Arts Guide wrote: "Superb text, intensive dialogue. Scintillating comedy banter with the best and worst of incorrectly formed relationships. The best of the best on Opening Night."
