My first time reading this play in its entirety, as previously I only read a condensed version. It really gains momentum in acts 2&3 but has such a dry act 1. Some really great moments, and Barbara is such an amazing character. I can't get Meryl Streep out of my head when reading Violet, but again such an amazing character. The family tension and themes in this play are superb, but it takes too long to get into the meat of grief and story.
