"The bite-size offerings from "Playing on Air" in particular highlight how much ground a play can cover in just a few minutes. A production like Patricia Cotter's "Wild and Precious Life" (which takes its title from a Mary Oliver poem) works like a sonnet: the truncated form demands an economy of language and swift turns like the final volta in the poem.'
