Another play that I think I love the concept more than the actual writing. I think the mental instability of the main character is intriguing. The obsession with the horses is interesting. I desperately want to see this performed before I make a final decision.

Best story and message I have ever read. Horses and ballerinas are very similar

I love it! All the psychotic mayhem going on? Fantastic! It's weird to read in class - especially since we have people playing some characters in English - but it's all very well done. Especially since Shaffer came up with all this on his own based on the simple horses-being-stabbed-in-eyes story his friend told him. All-in-all: awesome!
