Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Dark subject , rewarding read.
Fifteen years ago, Una and Ray had a relationship when Una was 12 and Ray was 40. They haven't set eyes on each other since. Now she's found him again.

I bought this play after seeing it performed. It's the kind of play that follows you around for days after you've seen it.

I think it's a valuable play to have on the bookshelf if you are interested in writing plays. You can learn a lot about sub-text in reading this play.


It's a very brave play and I really feel that David Harrower spent the time to really get into his characters skins. Both characters seem very authentic in an amazing, yet in a very disturbing way.

This play in essence I think is about the hold a pedophile can have over his victim and the complex relationship the victim can have with her perpetrators memory.

Although disturbing I thought the structure of the play was brilliant. If you love plays you need to have this on your bookshelf.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Great play
Although the formatting of the text threw me off a bit (it read like a free verse poem at first) after the very first page I got used to it and the story and characters totally gripped me. Very powerful, very naturalistic dialogue, and a lot of brilliant subtext. The story deals with two very damaged people trying to get on with their lives in their own way. I wish I had the chance to see the stage production, but reading it is almost as good.
