Heather Kelly plays Tom and Luke’s sister, Courtney, and said she thought audiences would most enjoy the music and comedy while they were watching the play, “but at the end of it, the thing that I think they will take away is the moral about understanding people you really love and by the end of it they will have a very different feeling to what they were experiencing throughout the play”. Matthew Doswell, who plays Tom, said: “There’s a complexity to Tom. Tom runs away from his family because he is trying to deal with everything himself, but even he doesn’t understand why he has run away – that’s his coping mechanism. I think the play speaks to everyone. It has an array of emotions – a combination of beauty, sadness, love, loss. It’s all in there and audiences will enjoy it.” Evening Standard Theatre Award judges on how they chose the winners". London Evening Standard. 4 December 2017 . Retrieved 14 July 2020.

Interview and Podcast with The Writers' Guild of Great Britain, writersguildofgreatbritain.co.uk, August 2010 In August 2021, Thorne delivered the Edinburgh TV Festival's prestigious MacTaggart Lecture. [53] He used the speech to discuss television's power as an "empathy box" in the living room of millions and its failings for neglecting a large and vibrant part of the populace by poorly representing the disabled community. Thorne points to the great suffering of disabled people during the COVID-19 pandemic in which the media rendered huge amounts of unnecessary deaths acceptable through usage of the term "underlying health condition". [53] The speech also outlined how television industry practice has been discriminatory towards disabled artists, and the dire need for the industry to commit to change, both off-screen and on; alongside Genevieve Barr and Katie Player, Thorne announced a pressure group called Underlying Health Condition which aims to elevate disabled voices in the industry. Thorne argues that more disabled stories written by disabled people and performed by disabled people would make visible what's invisible in the "empathy box" in the homes of the public and cause change to happen.
