this would be 5 stars if I actually liked plays !!
they were all very easy to read and keep up with. theyre also absolutely hilarious and absurd - perfect light reading to go between all of the insane nonfiction im forcing myself to read

+ the introduction was very entertaining; i will definitely be seeking these editors out again.
