I don't normally read plays, but wow this one is a real powerhouse! I picked this up because I love Succession and I had heard of the inspiration/similarities with the fight between Shiv and Tom in the Season 4 episode "Tailgate Party" and you really see the connective tissue. This play really captures the intense interpersonal horror of two people who are stuck together, but hate each other and love each other in the most toxic way possible.
