dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.25

Really captivating play, with characters you feel a multitude of emotions for from empathy, sadness, disgust, hatred, pity, happiness. I absolutely loved it though I found I got the most out of it once I started thinking about the themes within it rather than just reading it for plot.

This play is a thoroughly enjoyable read. It’s dark and twisted but it’s so well written. I enjoyed Williams style and i’m glad to be studying it for A-Level and it’s definitely my favourite out of the texts that I do.
