Had to speed read for english homework but its actually really good. I got lost in the plot even though I was only reading dialogue and stage directions. I loved it

I should read more plays! They’re super quick and you can almost ‘watch’ the action in your head with all the stage directions.

Really enjoyed reading this script for the National Theatre production of Small Island, even though I never saw the play. A profound insight into Jamaican migration to the UK in the 20th century.
