How Not To Drown
★★★★☆ Relentless
How Not To Drown is a moving true story of a young boy’s perilous journey from Kosovo to England, co-written and performed by the man himself. Which, in this ThickSkin and Traverse Theatre Company production, makes for a vital piece of theatre.

Muster Station: Leith (EIF)
★★★★☆ Chilling

How Not To Drown
★★★☆☆ Human drama:
How Not To Drown at the Traverse is an involving and humane piece of theatre, detailing stories that need to be heard. However – in theatrical terms – problems of structuring cause its impact to be diminished.
