Bryant and Lee have the toughest task, animating two ungrounded characters who undergo drastic transitions, neither of them with much success. Fran's sassy emotional detachment lurches awkwardly into the kind of morose introspection common to whiny alt-rock. ("Freedom's not really free at all, I guess"; "Just once I want to be loved the way I need to be loved and not go through life like a knife through water.") Ashley segues directly from nutty youthfulness (conveyed by Lee bouncing about like a wannabe Jane Horrocks) to off-kilter shrillness in a violent final act that - to borrow a word bandied about by the playwright - is assaultive but blandly unaffecting
