Brimming with the anger of what could have been and the exasperation of repressed desire, this fast paced, acid tongued drama challenges, excites and unnerves.Review:'This razor sharp piece, written by exciting new playwright Nicole Flattery and directed by Pillowtalk Artistic Director Rosemary McKenna combines a daring young cast and talented design team to guarantee a provocative and compelling theatre experience. A must see production - the voice of an ambitious generation of emerging theatre practitioners.' Show less
