This Is It

by Joseph Connolly

His girlfriend commands that he marry her.

His wife demands him home in time for tea.

His blackmailer commandeers half of his secret earnings.

Then he gets hit by a bus.

All in all, it's not a good day for Eric. And once he's on crutches, it becomes impossible to juggle two lives, three women and one vicious gangster. Eric's double-decker life and triple-tangled lies drive him to a catastrophic collision in Joseph Connolly's wry and ingeniously plotted black comedy.

[Nigel · Rating 3 out of 5]

A dark black comedy full of unlikeable characters doing reprehensible things. The situations everyone gets themselves into make you wince in discomfort as much as entertain and although it is full of knockabout satirical humour one does not care enough about the characters. Perversely enjoyable though.

Dark, dark dark with very unpleasant characters. The ending did provide a smile though...

disgusting

3.5 maybe even 4 stars really. Not my usual fodder but I really enjoyed it. A quintessentially English farce with some laugh out loud moments. Not sure how well it will ‘travel’.
