    The taught dialogue builds the subtext and the tension in this 3person play told in short high stakes scenes. The twists and turns as the well-developed characters take on the "past" and truth keep you reading/watching. The twist ending comes at you like a punch to the gut.

    In the age of the internet, it's all up for grabs as a showdown takes place between a student and their teacher. Thought provoking and well done.

    MacDermott has created a psychological thriller which literally set my heart racing. There were places reading this story when I could no longer breathe well. It is a tense shocker about secrets, the internet and social media, generational conflict, student-teacher relationships, taboos, truth and self-loathing. A gripping small-cast drama and truly disturbing. Highly recommended!
