I remember when Billie Piper was thought of as a pop singer who fancied herself as an actor. The truth is she was an actor who sang a bit. She has well and truly proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is a great actor and one who always delivers solid performances.

[YTLJE]

The beginning bit was EXACTLY how bumping into my ex went a couple of years ago.

[alyhall]

She floored everyone with this performance. Stunning.

[williama]

Brilliant. The stage is empty (except for a bike) and yet you are so drawn in by the performance of the actors, the mind fills in the rest.

[vlnow]

Billie has great screen presence. Would love to see her in more tv and films.

[BeanUasal]

Still so happy I got to see this live at the Young Vic. Flew all the way from Dublin to see it. Arrived in the morning and left the same night. So very worth it. Took my breath away

[naomibelet]

Billie in this play is one of my favourite performances of all time! Such an inspiration to me, I love her!

[CucumberpatchAddict]

I'm like this with ALL people tbh

[Smithy]

Billie Piper is an amazing actress, she’s brilliant in I hate Suzie as well 👌🏻

[abwab-gn]

John Macmillan is shockingly amazing in chewing gum and is a scene-stealer which is quite a feat

[catalina_]

SO good. I love Billie acting, such a good actress, also the whole production was excellent

[sarahmai]

i can hear them talking all day lmao its pleasant

[darriendastar]

That was good. I want to see all of that.

[Captain_Blue_Beard]

Was just waiting for a trench coat clad David to appear on the scene, just seems natural at this point

[BigElectron]

Plot twist, they broke up only a week ago but she aged more than him cuz of all the time traveling on the TARDIS.

[Kraetzbuerste]

Thank God, I hardly have Exes and I moved away from my usually hunting territory. This is so awkward...

[ancledoidoi]

I have no idea what this is but I want to watch more?

[BBrimunch]

When will this whole play be release in the US?

[mitchellwood]

Omg I wanted to crawl up my own arse watching this, do they have a history or are they just that good at acting?

[sillystarshine]

Will this ever be made available to stream again?
