I really loved this--it's sad, it's sincere. Audience participatory theatre that reads as a good script is rare, and I think this would be a wonderful play to see performed.

Holy moly do I love this play.

I saw it onstage a few years ago, and finally decided to sit down and read the script as well. I love it even more now. Such a beautiful, poignant piece with a very interesting perspective and staging. With the right performer, this play shines so brightly and tells an amazing story. The world needs more media that looks at mental illness in this way.

Duncan MacMillan is quickly becoming a favourite playwright of mine.
