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.

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.
