Reviews
Jason Willet, the teenage boy responsible for Danny’s accident, played by Fraser Anderson, had the right amount of trepidation and awkwardness to make the audience feel deeply for his character.

Anderson gives an equally moving performance, enlivening Becca’s read aloud of his initial apology letter with meaningful use of pace, pause and emotive emphasis, which aides in laying bare the story’s moving brutality.
