In case you couldn't know, this is not an objective review at all. A lot of who I am now has been made by the impact this play had on me, so I'm incredibly biased when it comes down to reviewing it.
The best thing about this play is how the characters are written. They all are exceptionally flawed, and it makes them feel like people right out of the streets of New York. There are times when reading this when I get so honestly angry at the characters because they're so flawed and make such terrible decisions. It's real and very well written, but it makes me feel a lot of things.
I do think that as incredible as this script is, nothing comes even remotely close to the experience of watching a filmed or live production of it. Seriously, if you can, take two days and watch this. You won't regret it.
