I have to say that this has been one of my favourite plays I’ve read in my life. I laughed out loud multiple times and the story reeled me in from the very beginning. The demons, the doctor, amazing and funny characters. I even kept hoping for a happy ending! Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed this. The writing flowed well and it was surprisingly really funny.

I know there's a deeper meaning with a religious commentary, but my brain has not made the conclusions just yet.

Would love to see this performed live.
