A haunting read. I've seen this play performed in a theatre some years ago, but the emotions are the same even just from reading it, which comes as a big surprise.
I can't form any coherent thought about themes and meanings at this point, but I'm sure this play is going to stay with me for a while. This is true art - it penetrates the skin and settles deep within you.
This play is masterfully written and keeps being funny even amongst all of the morbid details of the described situation. It never feels boring or dry, and the few characters feel alive and distinct.
In conclusion, I am in awe.
