This is the first play I've seen produced under the strictures of Covd - consisting entirely of the video messages of a mother to her daughter, and lasting about thirty minutes. It cleverly told the story of the interfering mother whose, daughter had decided to communicate via the father, much to the mother's hurt and frustration. The mother, played brilliantly by Diana Quick, never really got it - that her controlling interference was pushing away her daughter further and further away.
There is not a great deal more to say - save that the play by Adam Brace and directed by Michael Longhurst seemed to capture most accurately the syndrome which it was addressing. Half an hour seemed about right as all that was to be said was said.
