update April 2015:

When I read this play, I found it grating and boring, but I just saw it performed and enjoyed it immensely. The emotional tension between the characters is spot on and very poignant.

A really insane, off the wall story that you have no idea what's happening until the end. I think it was fun and exciting to read, I'd love to see it performed.

This play takes place in the wee hours of the morning as the characters drink copious amounts of alcohol and it feels as if it were written in the same time and state of inebriation. The dialogue is good, but everything feels a bit slurred.

The chaos in the play can be overwhelming. I had to read it one act at a time to fully appreciate the swarming ball of emotion, and not just let it completely sweep me away.
