What people say:
"Each play adds up to a theatre experience which is so intriguing that we find ourselves going back through our memory of watching it, or re-reading the play to note exactly how and at what point every detail, every word was laid in. Often in MacIvor's plays, and in the five plays in this collection, we, the audience, are acknowledged — we are not on the other side of the fourth wall. Our presence is part of the experience we are all going through together in the same room but that experience is not always comfortable, and it doesn't stop the imaginary world of the play from gaining power and grabbing us by the throat." — Linda Moore from the Introduction.
