One word only: disturbing 😳


But a little bit more…, I don’t know what to make out of it. The story really caught me and made me angry and sad and depressed and made me feel impotent.

it's very intense, the themes and meanings within the play are really deep and symbolic of different aspects of society; it's also quite heavy in terms of some of the topics Williams included.
