Decided to read this after learning that they're adapting it into a movie. Would never read again.

I found out Brendan Fraser will be starring in Aronofsky's (whose movies I have a love-hate relationship with) adaptation of this (BRENAISSANCEEEE!!!) so I read the play. Having read it I reallyyyy wish the movie is much more nuanced and non voyeuristic, and without any sense of meanness or making light of the subject matter. With a polarizing plot it's one of those things that could end up being painfully awful but with care it could be brilliant. A24 is producing so I'm hoping for the latter! That ending was very up Darren Aronofsky's alley.
