I'm late. So much I love here. The whole orchestration, so to speak, -- stage management - of the conversation at the pub. I can see, hear it all. Picking at the sticker on the lighter. Clare scratching her arm where Ros touched it. "It was a beautiful evening, as the morning had been, warm as if summer was making a last stab at being remembered."
"She wasn’t making herself understood. She’d been here before, that was the thing, they always said no-one minded, but they did. It was never just a play."
Great line: "I’m on my way to the bar, he’d shouted in the uproar of the afterparty. I’ll have a gin and tonic, she’d shouted back. It had been the first and last joke between them." This is developing very nicely, Eleanor Anstruther! A little coke, a little psychosis, and Action! :)
I have a bad feeling about this play ... in every way ! I also have deep concerns with the way mental health is still treated and then dosed up on meds by any old quack to shut people up
Noticed Ros's confusion about the label while she was picking at a table. Nice touch.
🙌
Great dialogue!

Ah. Tell me more.

You know when you write a line that you really like and someone spots it? That.
*chef's kiss*
Ros rips the sticker off someone else’s lighter 😡 She drops the sticker label on the grass 🤬
