If drama lies in characters making choices with high stakes, then John Minigan has certainly captured it here. Is teen Angela overreacting, making an impetuous, emotional choice based on irrational fear? Or are she and her friends making an entirely reasonable, clear-eyed assessment of the dangers and risks they face? And which values will her mother hold strongest to in making her own choice? A nauseatingly relevant drama for our times.
