Did not think post traumatic stress disorder could be covered so well with this show. High entertainment, amazing leads and supports. Go and see it, you won’t be disappointed, well done cast. May this be the start of something amazing for you all.

A very touching story. From the opening scene we were brought into Alfie's story and made to share the emotional development of each character, grappling with complex grief in the wake of tragedy. Well worth going to see.
