review 1: First of all, I should say that I saw the play before I read the book, so I'm biased to love the book as much as I loved the play. That being said, I did love the book. However, I don't think that just the script can do this play justice, since the book, despite all it's wonderful points, can't really describe the artistic nuances that actors and staging give it. However, it's still very much worth reading, and even more worth seeing onstage.
review 2: I read this while sitting in my school's makeup room while the play was being performed by the wonderful IBTA Year 1 Class. I loved reading it and I really look forward to seeing how they are going to bring it to life. I can't even really articulate how and why this play was wonderful other than it just felt real... more. It was very real and raw and I love when things do that. I'm not a theatre student so I can't tell you what made this a good play due to technique, but emotionally it was very powerful and came across in way that slaps you in the face with its brilliance. I'm so glad that I was able to read this and see it all in the same week. less
