Quite dark and hard to read at times. The language can be quite affronting. But very cool concept.

Saw the Swedish film first, the American version, then read this play. All fall inline with one another but I am having a hard time seeing how this can be adapted to a stage due to all the acts and scene changes unless it was a very high budgeted production. It's still a beautiful yet eerie story to me.

A good read, the only problem is that it doesn’t really lend itself to staging very well. Can you imagine having to deal with all that blood during a two week run?
