Michael Morris' direction highlights the emotional connections, allowing the story to spin around the relationships rather than around the dismal scene The cast is young and fierce. Kartheiser and Bryant have a weirdly kinetic energy together. Robinson's unselfconscious Donna provides the comic relief. All show a real facility with the heavy Manchester accent and slangy dialogue. Indeed, the script, excellent though it is, would fall flat without such a talented cast to keep these characters three-dimensional. The production features Michael Brown's bleak set -- bare steel frame set against a brick wall -- highlighted by Jeff Croiter lighting and Bart Fasbinder's soundscape. ![]() |
