I wish that I could have seen this play. Reading it really didn't give it much context. I wanted to take more time to work through it, to understand it, piece it together. Reading it left me feeling unfulfilled.
I had to read a lot of these scenes a second time. Or a third. Which was fine because the play was so short. I know plays are supposed to be performed and not read silently, but I still kept wishing that I was seeing it or even hearing it instead of trying to make sense of it in my head.
Otherwise, I liked it. It's a little too black and white/"America is evil" for my taste, but the idea of depicting America as this totally aggressive, dominating person in a sadistic relationship is quite fascinating and original.
Overall: Not a great read, but certainly an original, challenging play that I'd love to see or work on.
