Perhaps rather predictably Mohammed's family get shelled a few days before his finals, and three year's study go down the drain as he prepares to leave. Fortunately the farewell scene avoided sentimentality, and was acted with great sensitivity. My only real criticism is that the actors suddenly became scene shifters the second each act finished. It was especially disconcerting to see a sup- posedly paralysed woman leap up to arrange the chairs. This was not due to any Brechtian ideas about audience detach- ment. but just sloppy direction. On The Rocks was all the more poignant for being based on a real couple living in a Leeds hack to hack.
