I thought the play was decently written and researched and the juxtaposition of stage action and voice over quite clever.
Perhaps a wee smidgen too much emphasis on the possible sexual abuse between Andrew and Lizzie which seemed to color the view of the audience.

Alas, my troubles came from the casting & costuming of this particular show. The lovely, intimate venue called for attention to detail. I’m a big stickler for period costuming. Lizzie was whippet thin, teenage pouty, flouncy and jittery. My suspension of disbelief took a few jolts througout.

I must say though that their Bridget (who I though was Lizzie when I first saw her) was fabulous! In fact, I would love to see her play Lizzie in a future production.

That said, I did have a wonderful evening and know that when one has a decidely fixed image in one’s head that comparison is bound to be strict.
