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

Amazing with an amalgamation of morally grey characters fighting for power and influence over Stella that ends in brutal tradgedy.

I've never seen the play, nor do I recall the last time I read one. This made me laugh, gasp, and say "no, no, no, no..." as I was reading it. It was not at all what I thought it was going to be. Age 45 and I finally know where the title comes from!

The real question: Who is the victim in all of this? OR, are they all victims in their own way? And victim of what exactly (because there is a LOT happening in these few pages!)?
