To begin withI loved the title and the blurb. The story centres around three characters and their relationships to one another as well as Hilary sometimes breaks the fourth wall and we see her relationship with the audience. It is mainly a study in these relationships with a side order of comedy and overall it was really good as well as a but surreal at times with dream sequences and the constant changing of stage settings. Overall a unique and intriguing piece. I loved the ending.

another read for school - I wouldn't have chosen to read it otherwise. just not my type of book; I didn't find it interesting. I'm glad kenneth got cooked though.

Loved this play, I think it would play well with modern audiences and women.

What would have made it better is LESBIANISM!
