Both Ginny and James commanded attention from their first entrance and they knew how to milk the comedy as well capturing the tenderness and pathos of this story of a family trying to be optimistic whilst coping with a tragedy.

There was much to admire in this production in particular the performers interaction with each other and with the audience, also the lighting and special effects and in particular Ginny’s facial expressions and her moments of stillness which spoke volumes.
