Realistic relatable family drama that was accurately portrayed.

Interesting study of family relationships and drama that ensues following the passing of a family member. The ending was a surprise.

Entertaining but it would have been better if it was shorter. It was hard to hear the actors at times.

Great story but was a little bit flat overall, So much more coiuylds have been done with this play regarding the different relationships

I loved this play, and have thought about the characters many times since. I particularly liked Gary and his listening skills. All said was ok and alright, but he put a lot of feeling in those words.

Totally absorbing theatre, outstanding lead role full of raw emotions. Loved the the theatre

I loved the play and the acting. The only downside was that I couldn't properly see what was going on from where I was sitting, although I was in the 3rd row. The stage is rather low, and the scenes where the characters were sitting were particularly challenging for understanding what was happening.

A terrific show

A classic examination of complex family dynamics.

Le-elise

The storyline was fantastic but a bit too long.

Kez

Fantastic acting. Was very engaged with the story and the characters!

Andreia

Professional and the acting was great. Really liked the Benji character. However the storyline was quite a downer, I personally don't need to see families fighting. If there was more comedy or dark humour it would have helped. But this was just dysfuntion and fighting so it didn't really do it for me.

Jessie

Decent show, but went on a bit too long. Great Acting

carlodangelo

Entertaining however could have been shorter

Christine

The show had good parts but missed a lot of the show due to sound issues also the changing of sets was distracting lacked continuity .. feel the show could have been shorter to make more impact

Tyyche

Complex and interesting, but the staging needed some work. Actors were great.

Trish

Interesting subject, great acting, too many long set changes, abrupt finish that didn't really tie up the story.

Peter

Engaging throughout although one or two scenes too long. Refreshingly, on conclusion, the play did not resole all the outstanding issues. Somewhat like real life!!

Yvonne

I loved this play. Primarily because the actors were so good. I really felt engaged during the whole show. They were amazing. Only negative was sometimes hard to hear.

Trisha

Interesting play about family dynamics. The sound was sometimes low but discovered afterwards there had been a huge storm during the play. The acting seemed better in the second half for some reason. Glad I went. Thanks again it’s the house

Stella

I enjoyed the show. I found the first half captivating but the second half dragged on a bit and did not have the depth of the first half.

Susan

Overall the show was good, however we were disappointed as there were many times throughout the play that we found it really hard to hear what some of the actors were saying.
We missed punchlines that people at the front of the theatre laughed at. We were in row H. Perhaps the actors could have worn little microphones or if they'd projected their voices so that everyone in the theatre could hear them better.

Mary

Full of interesting conversations though provoking

Good acting. Dysfunctional family story. Worth going to see.

JM

Actors did a great job,
The storyline was quite depressing and non stop swearing and constant furniture move was not helping .
Not enlightening show.

The script and staging let the quality actors down. The staging was interrupting and tediously unnecessary.it made the acting stilted and broke momentum. Disappointing.

ramazantirli

Great team of actors.

Cathy

Excellent acting. Complex fascinating story. Felt like a voyeur witnessing all the families personal issues
