i love a little nonsense in service of mystery and intrigue, but this was excessive even for me
drewsof's review against another edition
4.0
Even that is a fluctuating notion. I've read the script yet another time (3 total, for those keeping score at home) and I keep seeing interesting things in it. I don't know that Mr. Young manages to achieve the full engagement with the ideas here - there's a lot of good work but I think the play remains a little cool, a little insular. But it has intrigued me immensely as a theatermaker, which might well be the greatest compliment I could give it. I can see a way in which this play is augmented by its staging, a way in which it more fully achieves the potential on the page. And isn't that the idea, in the end? That a play only fully comes alive when it lands on the stage? (I realize, looking at the Plays Inverse website that they're all about the reading-experience of the play too. And while I dig this... well, I'm about the doing, too.)
