I read this as I saw it on a list of the best modern plays and noted it was a finalist for a Pulitzer. The play was much shorter than expected though very unique and enjoyable. I liked how Ruhl made notes at the beginning, detailing suggestions for directors to make modifications to the play in production (e.g., changing jokes). The use of displaying directions visually to your audience is also novel. I only hope I get to see the play on stage.
