Another impressive element was Timothy Knapman’s script, which tells the beautiful story so smoothly that the audience aren’t really given the opportunity to misunderstand. It is a graceful plot full of romance and regret - each of which fight to take top spot in the relationship we watch unfold. Unfortunately the score (by Stuart Matthew Price) that accompanies the book feels somewhat redundant, and contains songs with forgettable lyrics that could just have easily been spoken as dialogue. Although both actors are clearly talented, and perform with confidence and clarity, these songs also seem to highlight a discrepancy in their compatibility, as Fowler’s vocal presentation is much stronger than Mouat - who seems overshadowed in their few duets. 

This feeling also bleeds into the characters themselves as Ben has a noticeable progression throughout the show, and is therefore easily distinguishable from scene to scene, whereas Ami’s character lacks the same depth. Whether this is down to direction or delivery it is unclear, but it was slightly unsatisfying to watch Fowler portray such a heartfelt character arc, when this didn’t seem to be requited.
