Summary: Adds to your enjoyment of the movie and screenplay.
Review: If you enjoyed "Beautiful Thing" the movie and already have its screenplay then you will almost certainly enjoy the stageplay too. The play was one of the great successes in London's West End in recent years. Primarily a happy gay love story, it's as much about mother love, coming of age and having something special of your own in a tough world. The basic story is the same as the film screenplay (but without scenes away from the appartment block). There are some really affecting lines in the play which didn't make it to the film (like when Jamie describes to Tony how one of Sandra's former boyfriends beat her up). If you've heard good things about "Beautiful Thing" but haven't seen it yet then I'd recommend seeing the movie before reading the stageplay (or screenplay). While superb in written form it's the acting and music of the film that breathes vibrant life into it.

Summary: both movie and book were outstanding
Review: This is the actual script from the original stage play. It is VERY helpful in sorting through some of the SE London accents and slang in the movie. There are scenes and dialogue that are not in the movie that give further background to the story and character development. A GREAT love story. A MUST READ.
