Really quite enjoyed this one so I'm not sure if I can verbalise why it is not a 4 star read. I just think for a comedy it's quite sad from the female perspective and I'm not sure I want to encourage that? Additionally, I didn't enjoy the acting scenes as much as the rest of it. Regardless, I love the themes of the play and you can tell it really is iconic.
Moderate: Misogyny and Sexism
Minor: Toxic friendship
