 | A brilliant evening, the writing both very funny and sad, great acting and direction. - 86.31.104.63) | 13 Jan 07 |
| Very good performance from Scales, worth it just to see her sad, poignant, selfless character, heart-breakingly waiting for her daughter to phone on her birthday. ALso great monologue from a pitiful character who works in a tampon factory and lost her virgintiy in a public doorway - the depth of her simple lack of self-awareness and her unaffectedness is so much like Jade Goody it must have been inspired by her. Nice one, but maybe not quite worth the £18 - I'd pay £15 if I had a choice. - 86.145.77.125) | 09 Jan 07 |
| A subtle and darkly harrowing portrait of the depravity and loneliness of our society, shown through 8 convincing, often funny, monolgues spoken by cringesomely recognisable characters. - 82.69.206.45) | 08 Jan 07 |
