The strategies used by Chris (James Quinn) to cope with his mother’s (Eileen O’Brien) lifelong neurosis stop him from asking an important question. Christopher Reason, author of A Selfish Boy, skilfully allows the audience to form their own judgement on whether the actions of Chris are really selfish. Quinn does, however, secure sympathy for someone whose defence mechanisms prevent him from truly knowing his own parent.
The ridiculous nature of prejudice is examined in Going to Extremes when old friends Lee (Joe Ransom) and Amir (Sushil Chudasama) find themselves on opposite sides in a race demonstration. Although the character of Amir is under-written, author Lisa Holdsworth is able to demonstrate the origin of prejudice in class-consciousness and despair with a surprisingly light and humorous touch.
