GREAT!
I hope to be taking A level English in my 12th year of high school, as part of the course we are required to write a scene for a play. I decided I would go to my local book store and buy some plays to give me an idea of how to write scenes for a play.

The first play I bought was "Beautiful Thing" by Thomas Harvey. Even though it is the second play i have ever read i thought it was absolutely amazing!

You learn so much about the characters without even knowing their history!

I highly recomend reading this play!

Nice and warm
I hope most reading this "review" saw Beautiful Thing film? This book will be intersting to most people who saw the film or perfomance. It's warm, kind and very warm. Read, cry, read and enjoy it.

Beautiful and hope-filled
This play is absolutley fabulous. The portrayal of the characters is spot on. Has moments for tears and laughter, and i highly recommend it.
