Screaming Secrets Alexander Matthews

Some secrets just scream to be told. The characters in this play are constrained and disconnected in their own realities and unable to share their life-shattering secrets with those they love. Ecology, cancer and lack of commitment - even the purpose of life - are themes that are developed with skill and humour as six characters work their way though a difficult afternoon. Matthews' writing is reminiscent of Shaw's biting wit and word-play, and of Raza's depth of feeling.
