Likely the strangest thing I've ever read. I laughed, out of sheer absurdity (and also, because I was doing a reading with some very confused people taking it entirely too seriously). It's incredibly overhyped in my opinion (it's the equivalent of slamming your head on the keyboard and allowing Autocorrect to write a play for you), and I'm not sure why it's so popular to produce (low budget, probably), but definitely not to be read when lacking sleep or caffeine. Patience will run thin.

  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I only read the Bald Soprano, but it was the weirdest thing I have ever read. Don't know how I really feel about it. It's just strange. But at least it's short.
