I would love to see this played out on stage. Full of meaning, not spoon fed to the audience. Short and therefore holds more impact. Modern. Good and quick read, but you know it must be seen to be truly understood and appreciated.

Seamlessly good scenes, powerful characters

This is a play that everyone should see. Seamlessly good scenes, powerful characters, and really good songs using local choirs. The ending is hauntingly good.
