"I laughed, cried, felt embarrassed, humbled, angry and sad. The most important thing she managed to achieve was make every single refugee real, not a body of people to be considered as one unit but individual people each with their own talents, history and family." - Kate, Brighton.

"Ellen Muriel beautifully captures her personal experience and understanding of the refugee crisis, at the same time as taking a critical look at her role as a volunteer and the fact that it is so much bigger than any one of us. This is a must-watch for anybody and will stay with you throughout the fringe and beyond. Definitely go see it." – Emma, Edinburgh.

​

“It took me back to my own time working with refugees yet somehow made me rethink the whole situation. Her portrayal of the diverse experiences of volunteering: the highs and lows, challenges, insecurities and rewards was incredibly comic and spot on. I laughed and cried simultaneously throughout.” – Sofie, Copenhagen.

“Imaginative, engaging and thought-provoking, ‘You, Me and the Distance Between Us’ recounts a volunteer’s experience of refugee camps with complete honesty and openness.” – Ellise, London.

​

“I laughed, got misty eyed and left a little more knowledgeable and open minded.” – Zoe, Brighton.

​

"Ellen is exceptionally talented, leaving the audience mulling over a fresh perspective on an important issue. This really is a one-off show that you must see to help understand the complex nature of the refugee crisis." - Poppy, London.

​

"The play had moments of humour, moments to challenge and confront and moments that brought the tears to my eyes." - Ellie, Brighton.
