fascinating, hilarious, intriguing, challenging. great way to pass the time. and possibly become a better human.
In writing 365 plays they aren't all going to be winners. Taking them separately, some are thoroughly forgettable, but some are incredibly poignant and fantastic.
Taken together though, they make up an interesting tapestry of Mrs. Park's preoccupations. Certain images reappear again and again (Lincoln, ants, Soldiers, etc) and serve as a guide to what is on her mind these days. Taking all the plays together creates a surreal novel about people striving to matter in a time where men are turned into indistinguishable ants as war rages on without end and people become more and more disconnected.
In a practical matter, in performing these plays, they work very well as a springboard for Viewpoints-like investigations.

Wonderful playwright. While not all of the plays are perfect, it’s an interesting enough concept to keep you reading. And though there are some imperfections, some of the plays are so touching and satisfying that it makes up for the less intriguing parts. Recommend for anyone interested in playwriting or short form theatre. 4.5 ⭐️
The concept is intriguing and works both in favor and against the book. That said, there are a few real gems in there.

I own this! And I'll come back to it. I haven't read it since I was in Pittsburgh last October, so I've forgotten a lot of it and would like to re-read the first bit. For now, I am letting this go
