first 5 ⭐️ of the year, we stan 😌 i decided to mix things up and read another play, and i’m so glad i did. this was well-written and perfectly paced. i kind of wish there was more, i enjoyed it that much. it’s insane how alive the characters were.

this play proves that a book doesn’t need many pages or many characters to effectively delve into such dark/serious matters. each character represented typical responses when certain topics (like pedophilia perpetuated by those in power) are brought to the surface. we have the priest, who is the pedophile, and the principal nun who is directly opposed to him. and there are people in between who either make excuses for the priest, or downplay it because they know that standing up is futile. 

a very interesting story, one that i will definitely return to. if you liked “small things like these,” you will LOVE this.
