If seeing this play hadn't been the best theater-going experience of my life, it would have been the absolute worst - the theater was unbearably hot and stuffy, I dropped the candy I was hiding in my pocket loudly on the floor, and I was exhausted from at least a week of constant travel. But this play was so heartfelt, so thought-provoking, and so challenging, that the second those lights went down none of the other stuff mattered. Re-visiting this play by reading it was strange - it was so familiar, yet reading it was such a different experience than seeing it. In the performance, the switches between languages were so seamless and understandable. I sometimes felt a little lost reading it, but that also helped me to slow down and think about things. SO WONDERFUL, EVERYONE READ RIGHT NOW.
