This was good, great character introspection and development. Even if one of the characters I find most annoying ends up playing a larger role than first suggested. And the third act does pick up the pace significantly. But also maybe... This is just Macbeth and maybe a little Hamlet. 

Rosie = Rosencrantz
Lady Jill = Lady Macbeth
Etc etc etc
