Torment by Philip levene

I enjoyed this play, which is well written & absorbing. Don't bother to read the unnecessarily long synopsis or it may well put you off. The ending is for me not entirely satisfactory and very cliched. I don't mind a few questions left at the end, but this ending rather skewers - for me - other incidents in the 'story', so they don't really make sense. That's my response and i am interested to hear others'. Philip Levene is certainly a playwright I will search out in internet archive.
