Hi Steve
Went to this last night with Chris and Barry and was glad to have the chance to say personally what a very good play it is. At one level it is simply a good story, well acted, with some nice touches of humour. But there is a lot of sharp observation in there and some real hard questions about modern life - nicely understated.
I liked the way you didn't "over-write" and left the actors scope to use what you gave them, which they took good advantage of. It was well-paced and there were no weak scenes. I particularly liked the centrality of Rob's wobbly attempts to hold on to his humanity amid the pressures and confusion of his situation. The play definitely deserves a wider audience and a longer run. Many thanks for an enjoyable and stimulating evening.
