Unbearably brutal. Wildly assaultive. Yet addicting and stunning, however excruciating to digest.

*uni read - britain modern stage**
this play is a pretty hard read, and undoubtedly would be an even harder watch on stage. many of the events over the course of this play are sickening, and while this is undoubtedly what Kane was attempting, it definitely isn’t something I would wish to revisit.

limelemon's review against another edition

This needs to have the biggest trigger warning ever on it (rape, violence, cannibalism, general verbal/physical/emotional violence). No idea how to rate it in all honesty, but I get what Kane is going for here. It's a disgusting yet compelling play about war, humanity, rape culture, and men at their absolute worst. (Not to mention how we can focus on the things in our own backyard and the things that seem the most possible to happen to us, while ignoring atrocities that we can write off as someone else's problem)

I would never want to see this performed, but damn. It's powerful.
