Truth be told, I got interested in the play because of Dan Radcliffe. Initially, the plot descriptions I had read didnt interest me that much. However, curiousity prevailed, and I am so grateful that I bought it.
It is an extremely thought provoking drama detailing the story of a therapist and his patient. Under close scrutiny, it brings to light the darker and more mysterious aspects of the human psyche, ethics, and the effects that parents could possibly have on their children.
I have only had the play for two weeks, and I have read it many times over. It is easy to read, yet the mental images it gives to the reader are astounding. I thoroughly recommend this book for ANYONE who enjoys theatre, particularly drama that has more beyond its surface. This is a play that will stand up with the best of of them. From "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams to "Tartuffe" by Jean Baptiste Moliere, this is a play worth reading and performing over and over again.
An interesting read

This play first came to my attention when I received information about Daniel Radcliffe starring in it this spring in London. I decided to read the play when I found that the summary appealed to me. I was not disappointed with my choice- it is really quite intriguing trying to understand Alans crime, and then later to find it is really about the psychiatrists internal conflict between right and wrong.
Wonderfully Imaginitive

This amazing play weaves an incredibly in-depth psyhchological mystery from a very minimalist set. The characters seem to jump from the book directly to your imagination. Its a great story thats hard to put down.
