Beautiful Thing - Acting Edition Paperback – January 1, 2000

Outstanding story. I am a high school English teacher, and I ordered this to use as a key text for my drama unit. It appropriate and has so much value to teach teens about diversity and love.

I've just ordered this book off of Amazon. I have read some brilliant reveiws on it and I got everythign I hoped for. I cried, I laughed and made a complete fool of myself infront of everyone. I now have all my mates queing to read it. I have never read a book so wonderful and it should be made available everywhere, not just via the internet. It's also very easy for me, as it is set where i am living at the moment so the language is easily understood. I recomend this book to everyone who needs comforitng at any time or for anyone who just likes to smile.I was also hoping to veiw the film, but I cannot get hold of a copy so if anyone reading this review wouldn't mind lending me a copy I would be very grateful....

I saw the show in Chicago and it was brilliant! The story is so honest and heart-felt. Harvey did a magnificent job of not turning the show into a cliched "gay" play.
