A fast-paced play that gives just enough information for you to glean an insight to the characters' relationships. It deals with heavy topics and leaves you feeling sorry for all characters involved, wondeing how they get into the positions they find themselves in. At the same time it has a surprisingly hopeful ending and there's some really lovely moments that make you smile to yourself.

A very dark, intriguing and clever play. It explores the concept of death in a way I haven't seen before. At times it was very uncomfortable to read, but it always had me hooked enough to read on regardless. It has a lot of potential to be taken down different routes in performance, so I would be very interested to see a full production of the play.
