I got this as a part of the national theatres "play in the post" service, it was a play i had already been wanting to read, and I really enjoyed the play. I loved the dynamic between Connie and Tristan, I thought that the idea of "is this love, or is this a side affect?" was something that was a really interesting concept, and that it was done in a way that I adored. I really enjoyed the way that Dr. James interacted with the both of them, especially after what Toby revealed!

The ending of the play has left me a bit confused, and I am unsure of what I was to get from it and I felt as though I did miss something. Overall though I enjoyed the play and am really happy i got to read it!
