Reviews

[Nate Petsche · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was required reading for a class I was taking, and I really have no idea how to feel about this play.

I think this is one where just reading the words on the page doesn’t do any justice to the actual work. However as it stands I was not totally invested in the characters or the story.

A play I can only describe as “hauntingly beautiful”. How can someone make talking about trauma sound so poetic and beautiful? I feel like I discover something new about the characters every time I re read it. Feel like I can’t recommend this play more.
