Ancient Greek family feud meets aboriginal hip hop, kind of. The play is intense and much meaning is imbedded in small measures.
Culture is a vital point for good and for worse - on the one hand you get to know the importance of the cultural life that is integral to the characters. On the other hand is it difficult to fully appreciate the nuances in this, for me, foreign culture, especially with the heavy emphasis on this and the fact that a portion of the text is in native tongue, which I can’t read and understand.
