The set-up was so interesting and then the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. Maybe for political reasons, but I expect for time/act restrictions.

گاهی وقتی میرم کتابفروشی، کتابای کوچیک که نمی‌شناسم میخرم، سعی می‌کنم از انتشارات‌های معروف بخرم به این امید که ترجمه‌ی کتاب، بد نباشه. کتاب‌های کوچیکی که بتونم یک ساعته تمومشون کنم و امروز وقتی احساس می‌کردم با تموم وجود نیاز دارم یک کتاب رو کامل بخونم ، این کتاب کوچیک رو پیدا کردم و از خوندنش خیلی خیلی لذت برم، یک نمایشنامه‌ی روون و جذاب، به شدت دردناک که به طرز عجیب و غریبی حالم رو خوب کرد(انتظارم از کتاب‌هایی که بدون شناخت میخرم خیلی بالا نیست:)اما به نظر بهترین یکی از بهترین کتاب‌هایی بود که تو یه غروب به شدت غم‌انگیز بهاری، بتونم بخونمش و حس خوبی بهم بده!شاید هم دلیل این حجم از حس خوبم به این کتاب اینه که چند ماه اخیر هیچ کتابی رو کامل نخوندم:)

since i had to read this for my english class, i read this really quickly but overall, i actually really liked the play because of the questions it raises in such a short time. with just 3 characters, i like the way dorfman questions things like justice, revenge and relationships (stan paulina lmfao). i also loved the ending with the mirror - the ambiguity of the play and its ending is almost satisfying and perfect as an ending. this story was genuinely engaging and i would really recommend! it was a nice read :)

In a concise performance, this play explores personal trauma, historical human rights violations, the failures of a well-intentioned system, and forces the viewer to consider the validity of different kinds of justice. It's an incredible examination of the horrific human rights violations of the "banana republic" era in Latin America through personal narrative. This play aims to unsettle you and force you to reconsider your societally-instituted opinions on right and wrong, proper justice, and interpersonal relationships. I hope to see this play on stage one day!
