I somehow missed the warning that the show was inspired by the shooting. I wished I had known because I wouldn't have gone.

I must have gone too early in the run because the actors did not have a grasp on their accents when I saw the show and I found it distracting.

I did not find this play all that original in terms of the writing or themes (other British plays and films have dealt with the subject of bullying and mean behavior in school settings).

The violence, though, was something I hadn't seen much on stage and I wish I hadn't.

I was expecting more from the play having read the UK reviews. I didn't like the show, really.
