I found this hard to read because it was so absurdist. I have a feeling it would have landed better with me if I saw the play. It was funny and strange and thought-provoking, though. I'd be interested to watch it or re-read sometime.

No better as text than audio performance. The characters are ok but infuriating. Just not for me I think
