4.0
This is virtually the same plot as in Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire (albeit written two years prior), but couldn't be more different in execution. Whereas RH is melodramatic in the extreme, Stephens' play is far more concerned with the tiny ripples in a family when its youngest member tragically dies in an accident. Stephens excels in his depiction of the everyday speech and manners of his English family; my only qualm is that the play seems overwritten and extremely long for what happens.
