[جابر طاحون · Rating 2 out of 5]

بنتر يبني مسرحية ، متخليًا عن جوهر الدراما " الفعل ، و يقيم لمسرحيته بطلًا واحدًا
بني بنتر موقفًا معقدًا من خلال حديث بطله الأوحد ، مقيمًا صراع في داخل شخصيته ، و الصراع يتطور وفقًا لما يطرأ علي الذاكرة لا علي الأحداث الخارجية .

It's a monologue that was wisely paid as if we are dealing with stream of consciousness. Waiting and human loneliness is all over it. It is a little too sad and grief is there, as always, we just try to entertain us and neglect it.

one-sentence review: the sad fact of loneliness is that it doesn't make you oblivious to the fact that you're very much lonely.
