Oh dear, this play really isn't very good. It's the story of the Archer family. Three brothers, the first, a heterosexual man who is stuck in an unfulfilling straight relationship (what are the odds?); the second, a gay soldier just returned from Iraq, who happens to be in the closet, and the third, a geek who ties up a Goth in the shed after spiking her drink with Rohypnol. Then there are the parents, who certainly aren't very good role models.

What could have been a laugh out loud comedy farce fell flat, with predictable dialogue and some very dodgy acting. Only Emily Holt as Lizzie came out of this with any credit at all, looking like the only one on stage who actually believed in what she was doing. Billed as a 'cracking new comedy' it failed.
