This is a brilliant play that tackles a lot of the darker sides of humanity in a really truthful way. There is a lot of scope for some stylised direction of this and I imagine seeing it in performance is an extremely different experience to reading it and imagining it. At times I found it hard to follow the script, because of the overlapping nature of the characters, the scenes and the dialogue, but if that was worked out in rehearsal I'm sure the action of it would be easier to follow. Reading this play confirmed my appreciation of Judith Thompson, that I first discovered when I read 'I Am Yours'.

Read for school. Felt a bit disjointed and confusing, covers a lot of very difficult topics. 3/5
