I have almost zero experience reading plays, but to my untrained ears/eyes, this is an excellent play, one I truly enjoyed. The way its written makes it super easy to picture it on the stage, and in fact I would love to see a live production if the option ever presents itself. The plot moves, there are some serious scenes, and every word and cue is chosen with such specificity and clarity. I really loved this.
