There is a point one can reach when one has so many thoughts and feelings that the mind fails to comprehend any of them, and one can do nothing but stare at the wall with brain buzzing.  I reached this point, perhaps twice, while reading this play.  Immaculate scenes, delectable wording, and a heap of challenging topics. Gives the audience just enough to understanding something new, even if they don't quite understand what is happening in the scene itself.  So surreal it simply must be about reality.
