Beautiful, 28 July 2004
10/10
Author: sherlock_2040 from London, England

A very powerful and moving story, particular the relationship between Buzz and James; both dying of AIDS and both in love.

Very well acted and incredibly moving, especially when happy-go-lucky musical loving Buzz begins to break and confesses how he really sees things.

It may not be real life, but you could believe that these characters exist. The script is good, as are most scripts based on plays AND adapted by the original writer. I would be very inspired to actually see this performed.

"I am sick and tired of straight people, there are just too many of them. I was in a bank the other day, they were everywhere writing cheques, two of them were applying for a morgage, it was disgusting."
