If you read this play be prepared that you won't understand it. At least, I didn't. It seems that it repeats itself completely which is true but every time it gives us more details about the characters. While reading it I wanted to cut the play and order it according to the storyline because i really needed all my imagination to at least understand some of the play. Good news that next week I'm going to see it on stage.

Saw a production of this woeful excuse for a play tonight. I can't think of a single redeeming thing about it. Lots of strong statements trying to mask the total meaninglessness of it all. The emperor has a lovely new suit of clothes. I hate Will Eno's plays for similar reasons but at least they have a laugh or two in them.
