what a heartbreaking play, it's 3:30am and I am trying to cry quietly so I don't wake up my roommate. (originally 5 stars)

I am glad that at least Armand found out the truth and had a chance to talk with Marguerite before she died.

Lots of wonderful lines but the premise feels a little forced. The beginning starts off like a comedy. My favorite line at the beginning is, "My dear friend if I were to listen to all the people who are in love with me, I'd have no time for dinner!"

But then the play devolves into tragedy tragedy tragedy. Even so, it never fully gains a sense of realism.
