Wow wow wow this play was FANTASTIC! Wow the British theatre never fails to please. A fantastic concept, really lovely characters, really important conversations, just a lovely, lovely, well done play. Would love to see it performed! Would love to be in it! Love love love!

Interesting concept but a bit boring in practice. It felt like there were some very cool ideas but not a lot actually properly executed, kind of bland, boring pacing.

Reading a play is always strange, because it relies so much on the element of visualisation, of intonation and voice. However, this one works by its carefully placed cues (the laptop cupboard, the conspicuous mail stored away in a drawer).. It is an interesting take on the wish I had often voiced myself after a stressful work week (“I wish I was a 50s housewife”) and what this would imply in a modern household - its consequences on the lives of this couple and how they interact with the world around them. I would have liked to see the play with Katherine Parkinson.

Really interesting but the ending just lacks something major for me. Dialogue was great & sooo British lol
