I'm not going to say too much about it. It's always a bit weird reading a play because you miss all the inner dialogue, it's all tell. But Emma Donoghue is a marvellous writer and I didn't want to miss this.

I liked I know My Own Heart best because it was about Anne Lister (she of the famous diaries). The author was somewhat liberal with the truth as she explains, but even with this re-imagining I still could find the spirit of Lister.

f/f

Themes: you clearly miss some element when you read a play, it needs to be seen.
