As much as I enjoyed the theater dramatization of the play, so much of the beauty of it comes in the words and the sentiments of the characters.  The plot itself is rather brutish and dark, but it’s in the character development that the story truly shines. I will most likely be purchasing the book to read a physical copy of it to fully enjoy the writing for myself! It’s also difficult to keep track of the different characters while listening to the audio book.
