This was something.
I read this a months ago for school and it found it interesting enough. I think this is a kind of play for specific people. It's not a very light play and I would say has many dark and in my opinion creepy themes. I prefer more light-hearted books so this was not my cup of tea but there are interesting ideas and ways the author talks about desire. But this is not something I would recommend to most people as I didn’t enjoy it.

Such a rich and layered piece of art. Haunting and tragic and as intense if the NOLA heat.

A masterpiece. Så mye metaforer, for noen karakterer; Blanche og Stanley! Så glad vi leste den i engelsken og at jeg fikk sett den som ballet. Et ordentlig rått stykke.
