an incredible play that made me think and pulled my insides into the most horrific shape; it was very interesting to re-read this now, having more of an insight into the writer's process and am very interested to see my response again in a few more years.

I am almost ashamed to admit that from my first reading a few years ago, all I could remember was the first scene.

I don't want to judge this having not seen the show; I found the script difficult to get on with, but feel like it would be much better in actual form!

I really liked reading this play. I think there’s some incredible and intriguing writing in here and it’s a really effective commentary on the commercialisation of the arts and of storytelling. Ella Hickson’s passion and anger are intense and so well expressed and it reminded me of my own passion, which can be really refreshing and invigorating. I felt like there were moments in which it felt a little heavy-handed - but overall I really loved it.
