"It is important that we pay due cognisance of the invaluable role that Mark plays as a socially conscious dramatist, and for me it has been exhilarating to see his work extend beyond the early commissions to write for Theatre in Education companies and within the last decade to become one of the most performed playwrights in a wide range of professional and community venues as well as in educational establishments that face so many of the social problems that are addressed in his work." Charles Vance Editor of Amateur Stage. August 2005
There are extracts from this play on the excellent DVD ‘Wheeller Plays Exemplified’, as directed by professional director Tim Ford.
