difficult to read yes, but a very interesting exploration of ideas and themes that I can imagine would play out very well on stage

I think probably misses the point if you read it instead of actually WATCH it performed. Insteresting themes and use of language though.

I don’t think I am the target audience for this, and if it wasn’t for a class, I would have never spent my time reading this.
Stoning Mary by Debbie Tucker Green is a modern play with around four timelines and covers topics such as relationship strife, AIDS(?), and externalized egos. Simply put, I hated this. The audience is just dropped into the action (or really lack thereof) without any explanation or grounding, leaving me confused (in a bad way) for almost the entirety of this work. It is just kind of miserable and everyone is fighting all of the time. I don’t understand the point of this. This felt like a younger sibling of Samuel Beckett and Gertrude Stein, and I feel like I’ve made my opinions on their works very well known.
