Deep read as part of the hardcore literature podcast/patreon so watched the Hopkins film to help me 😂 then read the play with a dramatised version on Audible going at the same time and now listening to lectures about it. Loved it , so much that’s still relevant to modern times and so dark. The Hopkins performance is stunning but will definitely be seeking out more.
