[Doug · Rating 4 out of 5]

The best thing about this play is that Hunter once again delineates the lives of some people who generally don't get much attention - on stage, or indeed, in life itself... and in doing so provides vivid roles for three actors in the 80+ category. However, the story seems a bit overwrought at times, and the majority of the first act is concerned with a search for a missing person, which was the exact same set-up as in his 'A Great Wilderness'.
