"An emotionally powerful account ... The action moves inexorably to mutual spiritual forgiveness ... it should make all Bahamians feel uncomfortable, as it is designed to do ..."
Jack Hardy, The Tribune, Nassau, The Bahamas "Strachan is directly stabbing at the Bahamian collective consciousness ... Strachan's dialogue in Diary of Souls is lyrical and striking, even poetic."
Christian Campbell, The Weekender, The Nassau Guardian, The Bahamas
"Strachan has managed to construct a drama with a strongly individualized voice of its own ... its central theme is the vital need to enact rituals of remembrance, to bear witness, never to forget the dead ... Diary of Souls is a compelling and beautifully crafted work for the theatre."
Robert Leyshon, Cave Hill Theatre Workshop, UWI, Barbados "Absolutely breathtaking."
