         Big Game         Bursting         Going To Extremes

Big Game

Synopsis:
begins with Stephen Hoyle's Will clearly escaping from a sexual encounter the night before, as he creeps around the living room collecting his clothes. Leah appears before he has left, but it comes out, when he has failed to prevent her from looking at her incoming texts, that his motives for being with her weren't what she thought. The plot cleverly twists and turns, so that when you have decided he is simply vain, arrogant and cruel he turns it back on her so that she thinks about herself and her own friends - http://www.britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/jb-shorts-10-joshua-brooks-9617
