In classic Glasgow fashion, this was deeply moving, 'quiet' in the sense that its themes weigh heavy and the drama lies in all that is not said. A sobering reminder, too, of how this country fails anyone struggling with addiction. I think it would be interesting to read in tandem with Heather Demetrios' LITTLE UNIVERSES. Recommend, for sure.
(Also it shout-outs theatre teachers and that is always a WIN in my book!!!)
