[Natalia · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the first plays I've read. I loved it. The duality between city and lake, intellectual versus unintelligent, the have and have not, the sober and the drunk, the female and male energies. I felt like I was at the dinner party. Excellent. The author did a lot in very few pages.
