holy shit. this was extremely powerful. I think my favourite section was the poem about the woman asking for her stuff back. damn. I think I need to read this again or find a version of the play performed to watch because of course hearing the words and seeing the performance and dancing would add so much, but the words alone are still so moving and beautiful and strong and heart wrenching and alive.
