this play is so weird and i loved it!!! brilliant one to read, even better to watch and the most fun to do. the fast paced, camera shutter speed of the vignettes gives the play an organic yet profoundly modern perspective. churchill offers us a mirror to our 21st century lives.

I didn’t really know what to expect from this book. It was lent to me by my drama teacher because I’d expressed some interest in playwriting and my expertise is in poetry. This book is a perfect bridging of worlds.
I am in LOVE with this concept of scenes being placed in whatever order one wants. My director wheels were turning the entire time, especially when it came to the addition of the “random” scenes at the very end.
Not only that, but I am absolutely enthralled by the literary merit and beauty of these words. Phrasing and poetic devices were used in a GENIUS capacity. I made audible reactions reading certain lines and certain scenes. I felt my mind expand and hold every single one of these scenes. It was a beautiful thing to experience.
Churchill does so many beautiful things in such a quiet and understated capacity. I am so grateful to have read this book. I feel the inspiration coursing through me.
