I've seen the TV version they made of this and probably should give the DVD away as it's unlikely to be the kind of thing I'll watch again, just because it's not very good in that serious American way that's often disappointing. This was very different. It had an excellent cast and the drama was heightened as it was during those pandemic times when there were gaps in the seating to keep you away from people, or was it performed in the round so we went in through a different entrance. We all left in tears.
