I think I’m more interested in seeing this play than reading it. I think the author has a certain perspective that influences how the characters are portrayed,(especially in stage directions) and I’d be curious to see this story without that lens. That being said, I did still like it. I liked the story it was telling, even if some of the characters felt caricatured at some points. There need to be more representations of men who are damaged and fucked up by the world they live in.
