Reviews

[Heval · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sjuk underton av obehag i nästan pjäs, lite med hur dialogerna är skriva och självaste handlingarna. Svårt att betygsätta en samling av verk… vet inte. Mycket att uppskatta ändå

[Rebecka Häggström · Rating 4 out of 5]

Så fina pjäser!!!!! Karaktärerna är verkligen enastående, så i symbios och samtidigt så platta och enkla med sina korta rollbeskrivningar och dialoger. I alla korta upprepningar, uppstår så fina relationer

I read the first play a year ago - and didn’t really like it. However, I picked it up this book again two weeks ago because I wanted to give Fosse another go. I must have been unprepared back when I read Someone is Going to Come because I not only really enjoyed but also loved some of the other plays in this volume. My favorite out of the ones I read was The Child, which really moved me.

I think I need to reread Someone is Going to Come…
