Brilliant
This play is absolutely fantastic, from the hilarious beginning setting the tone as more of a comedy, to the gradual realisation of a young child going missing and the consequences it brings about. I particularly liked the way that the family contrasted with the McCanns (working class, and the way the press played on their irresponsibility), as well as the cynical means by which the press sensationalised the story and sought to attack the distraught parents.
Really effective and, despite the fragmented time and sequence of events, it all felt very real.
