Customer Reviews

Superb and stimulating
I found this play by accident, browsing in a bookshop. I had heard of the Connections series of plays, so went ahead with buying it, and am now teaching it to an extremely enthusiastic group of GCSE students. It is stimulating, it has a wonderful website with lesson plans and suggested activities, and now that I've seen it as well, I can confirm that it is superb in performance. A really lovely piece of writing. I cannot imagine any student failing to enjoy the play. It is comic, sincere, sorrowful, angry and full of wonderful moments of theatre.
