This play is morbidly fun. The intertwining of both plot and script make it fun in a way that shouldn't work but does.

This was so enjoyable!! I had a ton of fun with this. It’s a super quick read (of course) and with the removal of a few fat and gay jokes, I could see this being a very fun play to see in person.

4.5 stars. Devilishly ingenious. Only a few slight differences from the movie, which omitted 1-2% of the dialogue (abstruse, highbrow lines). Except the ending diverged from the movie and from the quality of the rest of the writing, to be surprisingly, terribly weak.

I liked the plot of it!! So funny with twists and turns. A little confusing about the multiple plays within a play theme. I don’t really like when psychics are used as plot devices to further the plot.

Funny, and with multiple twists.  Quite brash on the outside but with some of the subtlest foreshadowing I’ve ever seen, invisible until you know the plot.  It doesn’t quite break the fourth wall, but it’s definitely looking at it.  Some of this is only noticeable on paper and wouldn’t be apparent in a production.  Clever stuff.

Fun and meta, a little gory, a little shocking, a little queer.

It's a good time.
