He came to watch the play with his brother. The play was billed as a comedy/drama about a typical group of youngsters out to have a good time, drugs, sex and rock and roll. However despite the banter, the music and dancing the play has a serious message about the failure of friends and family to recognise when someone is suicidal. Half way through the play there is a very disturbing and...
