Thought-provoking, Intense, Epic, Great acting, Dated

See it if For Denise Gough, giving a really brilliant performance.

Don't see it if Piece felt a bit dated, maybe attitudes towards mental health and addiction have changed a lot since this was first staged.

Thought-provoking, Intense, Great staging, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if ...you appreciate an open, vulnerable and honest account of deep, personal life issues, with a touch of humour!

Don't see it if ...you have an aversion to loud bangs and sudden fluorescent white lightning flashes! It all adds to the wonderment of the performance.
