"Amanda Whittington receives little in the way of critical attention, but the Nottingham-based writer could be our most consistently popular female dramatist. " Amateur Girl, The Guardian.
"Amanda Whittington, who was the first writer to give this subject dramatic treatment, is an undiscussed yet ubiquitous sort of writer. There's rarely a point at which a regional playhouse isn't performing one of her plays, and the text of this one has quietly slipped on to many GCSE reading lists." Be My Baby, The Guardian.
"Whittington's characters are untouchable when they keep their white stilettos firmly on the ground." Ladies Day, The Guardian.
"Has the heart-tugging potency of a pop classic." Be My Baby, The Guardian.
"Whittington has already written a tale of gymslip pregnancy in her successful Be My Baby, which cleverly entwined classic 1960s hits into the narrative. Here, staged sequences from Bollywood films are presented to terrific effect. Bollywood is big in theatre at the moment, but this is the most successful integration that I have seen." Bollywood Jane, The Guardian.
"Whittington draws a fine distinction between Vince's star-struck delusion and Tina's refusal to get carried away. When he finally lands a long-promised booking on a cruise ship, she points out: "Vince, it's a ferry. There's sheep in the back." Satin n Steel, The Guardian.
"You don't have to be young, female or unmarried to find it intensely touching." Be My Baby, The Guardian.
