Another one of Kiln playbooks. Saw the play, great acting. The script itself had some wonderful lines the whole beggining monologue “he didn’t fill the room, he created it” and his gradual show of submissivness were handled so well. I feel the death happened abruptly and without any impact, but the last scene was wonderful.
