Zindel's enviable knack of making witty and credible links between bizarre teenage behaviour and deeper universal truths is as on-target as ever. Della is a talented, dipsomaniac actress who lives in her own fantasies and David is her lonely pupil, a would-be playwright with writer's block. Together they inhabit a world that is 'really nuts and lonely' and out of it construct an alternative existence where they achieve 'wanting what isn't.' An acquired taste!
