[Jeffrey Wienckowski · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this play at my local library by accident and have been in love with it ever since. It is so amazingly simple yet utterly unexpected.

Brilliant piece of work.

Ze začátku to byl strašný zmatek, ale jakmile se v tom člověk začne orientovat je to nářez! a hlavně ta konečná pointa :)
