"It is silliness to live, when to live is torment; and then have we a prescription to die, when death is our physician." And here I thought Hamlet was dramatic. Loved this one albeit partially because I watched Vishal Bhardwaj's amazing adaptation Omkara right before reading. The start of this play had me laughing out loud while the end was just so chaotic, I couldn't even smile anymore. Lots to say about this but I already wrote a whole paper on it so I'll leave it at this.
