"
Watson is even better in Arthur Pita's Volver, Volver, a brilliantly surreal confabulation of burlesque, gangster, superhero and fado. "
The Guardian - Judith Mackrell
"
Watson later socked it to us in a witty solo by Arthur Pita – Volver, Volver – which revealed that he is, as we already suspect, Superman, and as elegant as Fred Astaire "
Financial Times - Clement Crisp
"
It was surreal and crazy but in a very good way "

"
Pita is asking what it means, right now, to be a man "
The Observer - Luke Jennings
"
Arthur Pita’s Volver, Volver is a terrific gift to Edward Watson, who revealed the vulnerability beneath his superhero exterior with incredible colour and dramatic juice "
