He explores the impact of decades of violence and hatred and leaves his characters suspended [Four stars] * Guardian review of 'Everything Between Us' *\u003cbr\u003eThe play is so funny - wickedly, irresponsibly, cruelly funny - you might write it off as juvenile in the first five minutes. By its conclusion, though, it seems like one of the most slyly mature peices about conflict in 'post conflict' Northern Ireland yet written. How can we move forward, after everything between us? Not by exorcising the truth, and our destructive tendencies, but by learning to live with them.
