Powerful, darkly hilarious, moving and with strong performances all round, this is a production that does not sugar coat English small town life for an American audience. By contrast the characters are eminently British, raw and genuine and the dull grey of the south east coastline is portrayed without sentiment. "Back to Life" will appeal to anyone who likes fresh unformulaic drama. It revels in a sharp script and hilarious cringe worthy moments. Hats off to the cast who are all exceptional.
