Tom Stoppard plus Pink Floyd? This was too easy to like for me.
That said, it was almost too short and feels as much like music as a book. On second thought, that seems as much like a compliment as a criticism.
If you enjoyed Rosencranz and Guildenstern are dead or philosophical thought experiments and the Dark Side of the Moon, you really cant go wrong.

More of a musical radio play than a real play, the philosophical arguments that play out through "thought experiments" over the Dark Side of the Moon songs are better (and less serious) than I thought they would be. Silly really, but only Stoppard could have pulled it off. I like it more every time I hear it, and my kids think it is the real version of Dark Side of the Moon (and they like it too).
