While I did like the relationships established between the characters, I found the plot to be ever so slightly simplistic. However, although I wasn't quite impressed as I was with the other Philip Ridley plays I've read, I was happy I read this and I could still see Ridley's unmistakable style. Aug 17, Noha rated it it was ok. Not exactly interesting or fun to read. Ridley's talent has greatly only increased in the later plays. Caroline rated it really liked it Oct 18, Gregory L.
