Really a great play. Poignant, sad, fun, beautiful. Read it in school and loved it then. Read it some time since and loved it again. And I still love it.

ohhhhhh it’s so good. 
- Ireland in the old days
- Toxic masculinity 
- Everything but talking about your feelings. 

the internal battle (dissonance between public and private Gar) is so interesting and really engaging. i live this okay and would adore seeing it performed live.
