COMMENTS:
“Can I just say that the dialogue in particular was terrific? I’ve done a depressing number of pieces of new writing where the dialogue has been either such cliche or so clumsy that it’s an effort to make it work. This piece flowed beautifully and was so easy to speak, and that’s a real achievement. It’s a nice feeling as an actor to find that the author’s done much of the work for you!” – Phil Gerrard
“We got some really good feedback and most people loved the journey / pay off when Jason came out at the end. The feeling was something v real was taking place – so that’s good!” – Lee Peck
“I just wanted to congratulate you on your competition play. I absolutely loved it, and thought the dialogue was very real, having had 4 teenagers of my own!” – Lucy Appleby
