I genuinely can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a play this much. Firstly, the length of it was just PERFECT. Secondly, from the characters to the structure of the play to the underscores and the themes and the overall narrative - this play is fucking BEAUTIFUL. Everything it’s saying is so bloody important and I wholeheartedly believe everyone should read it. A new favourite of mine without a shadow of a doubt.
