After reading this, I immediately wrote fan email. When I didn't hear back, I decided just to read all his stuff, that was probably more fulfilling.

Typed in play format= (Person):__

I'll give the writer credit on the play staging idea and the story could've been great but he bungled it here, there and everywhere. The ingredients were mixed terribly and I was confused the entire time. I didn't know the whos, whats or wheres or what he was trying to say without mental algebra and was left with basic questions unanswered at the end.
->I put tremendous effort into barely understanding and wish I could get the time and money back.

What the artist was trying to achieve with the dream blurriness and line sketchery didn't work- you have to be much better at rendering such things to pull off vague and ugly. There wasn't a single page I enjoyed.
