5.0

I really wish I could give this more than 5 stars - if someone had told me this was the work of a mid, or even late career, playwright, I wouldn't have blinked an eye - that it is a debut play is astonishing, and it should have won outright the Bruntwood Prize, rather than just a Judges' Award (the winner, that year, Kathleen Soper's 'Wish List' was nowhere near as accomplished). Four diverse, well-rounded characters (three of them female!), a potent and all too relevant subject matter, and crackling dialogue all lift this above the ordinary. I only wish I was still directing - this would definitely be on my bucket list of plays to tackle.
