Rattlesnakes (2019)

I read the play many years ago as part of a university course and I loved it. It blew me away, as all of Graham Farrow's plays have. He is a unique writer; a style of his own, not afraid to get dark and grimy, show how life really is on the margins. When I heard it was to be made into a film I was more than intrigued. I have seen it; it DOES work but the psychology that made it such a brilliant piece of work has been shed for a straight forward thriller. All the twists and turns are there and it keeps you guessing but MORE of the play would have been better. Still, great job and wonderful performances.
