It was very dark. There is a lot talked about in this book and none of it is happy. However, it was well written and I did enjoy it but I wouldn’t recommend to everyone.

This is part of my goal to catch up with what the other schools around me read when my London school insisted on following the Welsh exam board because my teacher was obsessed with Ted Hughes. I want to see this live I think it would be really good sonically/visually. I love a play with crazy detailed/specific stage directions because you have to imagine how that would possibly be shown and it's fun. I can see why people study this in school.

Not a huge fan of this play. Read for school out of necessity rather than for personal enjoyment.
