The Saturday Paper
“Marillier draws (characters)… With a complex compassion that opens up the lose-lose dilemmas of being trapped in unjust racist systems enforced by economic and state violence.”

★★★★ Limelight
“Rich with humour, heartache and tenderness.”

★★★★The Age
“Destiny arrives at a particularly resonant point in time as we collectively search for ways to dismantle seemingly indestructible, oppressive regimes.”

The Conversation
“Stayed with me long after the play ended… Destiny reminds us the personal is political”

Arts Review
“Marillier’s script is focused; sharp in design and execution.”
