Goodness, I love this story. The characters are hilarious and memorable. The story is so twisted and silly and maddeningly wonderful. The dialogue is absolutely fantastic and so memorable. I often find myself quoting lines from this play when chatting with people because they actually fit real life so well. An excellent story and a classic. Everyone should read this.
