mm i thought i would like this but alas, i did not. i’ve read plays here and there and i liked them all. but this one, absolutely not. i didn’t like the writing style. it was very dispassionate and stiff. the dialogue was strange to me as well. i didn’t care for any of the characters, but we’re not supposed to anyway. my problem with this is the fact that the characters all lacked depth. they were just ~there~. they weren’t interesting. plot was decent, but not compelling.
honestly i could’ve lived my entire life not having read this & been fine. i already know that religion + state = recipe for disaster. i don’t need to read this book to come to that conclusion.
as far as me recommending? idk, try it out. you might like it. it seems that i’m in the minority 🤷🏾♀️
