well worth the time to check out

i only know this as a play, 1st heard on BBC Radio 4 and remains to this day the only play i went out and bought and gave it to people and MADE them listen to it.

this is the first time i've ever heard this subject matter handled in such a unique way.

its a fresh perspective on an old story and told from the child's point of view. it's freshness comes from the way Spoonface is just a ordinary little girl with problems but you need to hear or watch to find out about those problems.

does make you think!

Superb programme

If you haven't heard this on radio/audio or seen it - DO IT NOW. It is beautiful, thoughtful, sensitive treatment of a very difficult situation. Whatever it costs you to get hold of a copy, its worth it. The music also deepens and supports the story-line and some of the minor characters have practical insights into how to handle events and emotions that will help anyone who listens. The 'voice' grabs you right at the start and makes the programme compulsive listening - and is worth hearing again and again. If you enjoyed 'The curious incident of the dog in the night-time' then this will be to your taste too. Enjoy, laugh, cry, learn, smile!
