As something I could only describe as "wild," this play's weaving of scenes, relationships, spies, love, and loss was simply something I have not seen before. The language and the way people talked to one another wasn't exactly modern, but it didn't feel dated either. The relationship between Kit and Thomas was at first, coy and juvenile, but escalated for me with the action of the play. For some reason, which I'm not sure of, I was completely convinced of the rapid development of their romance once Kit discovered he also loved him. It was honestly heart-wrenching. And the last line is quite haunting.
"I will think of him from time to time - late, in the darkness alone - in that moment before sleep - in my dreams I will look into the sun and see him but feel nothing. Some day I will forget him. I will wake and close my eyes."
Also, despite it being quite graphic with its violence, there wasn't any explicit love scenes that actually got past foreplay. The simple act of one falling asleep in another's arms is already a viscerally emotional scene for me, however, which was the most memorable scene for me in the play. Maybe besides the red smoke and travels between space and time and through hell and metaphysical torture chambers.
