Not many people
read plays anymore. I mean... well, some still do but it’s not as if when you
walk into a library the majority of people are reading plays. Well, all plays
deserve to be read. This one included.
It’s brilliant.
Once you’ve read it you’ll see what I mean but what a great plot. The twists in
it are absoloutely amazing. All the way through you can see the slow character
degredation but you can understand them aswell. The writer has portrayed it in
such a way that you feel as though they actually are real people. A real family
in a real place. As I said it’s just great! And thats just when it’s read as a
book. When you see it as a play... WOW! With the right actors and lines you
can’t go wrong.
