Saturday Play: A Passion Play

The plot
A middle-aged couple are blown apart by the younger widow of an old friend.

What I liked
The contrast of the head voice and the real voice -- this play reflected what the character was saying and what they were thinking. All you have to go on is a slight difference in quality of the two voices.

Kate's annoying 'riiiighht' -- this was pointed out later in the play.

What I learnt
It is, apparently, possible to get away with lines where a wife says to a husband: 'but she's the same age as our daughters Rowena and Sally' (or whatever).
