Well. I think this play hit differently in the current 'political climate' we are in right now. So it was A LOT. And the swearing was definitely too much for me, and watching it would be quite the thing with every other word being the f word whenever Cruz speaks. But it really was a well thought out interesting look at what it might be like in solitary for these two characters.
Lost a couple stars for all the swearing and the ending, even though it made sense, I didn't want that to be the end I suppose.
Definitely not a distraction to what is happening right now, but an interesting thought provoking read that really makes you turn inwards on who 'deserves' forgiveness, and who can offer it to you, even when you have done something unforgivable. Can you be forgiven? And do we even want those people to be forgiven? ALL the questions.

Who is worth forgiveness? Who is owed a chance at redemption and who is not? We are all corrupted, but only some punished... do we as society have the tools to progress to a more fair implementation of justice? Or is that what a belief in God is for? To absolve the complicated issue and be unburdened by the possibility that humans are innately unjust. This is what this play made me think about. Quite relevant for us all to consider after the high profile Zimmerman trial.

-read for school-
interesting commentary... but all in all this wasn't as entertaining to read. it just gets 'good' when one reflects on it.

One of the most disturbing and emotionally riveting plays I saw this year. The performances were mediocre, but the writing was flawless. Be prepared for a rough ride, however. Nothing is glossed in this jailhouse drama.
