Happy Days by Samuel Beckett

4.0

It's difficult for me to give an honest review of this play, one because I've never actually seen it preformed (and plays are in no way meant to be read like this, especially Happy Days with all its stage directions interrupting the lines beyond easy readability) and two because the subject matter is a bit above my head (in the sense that it seems to focus on a long marriage, something I have no personal experience with). That said, the play is enjoyable and seems to have a firm grip on what it's doing. It took me maybe a page to get past the absurdity of the whole situation, and then I was stuck in on the characters. (Seriously, all my margin notes are solely focused on the characters, nothing about meaning or anything. It draws you in.) It's definitely worth another read, or at least a viewing of the play.
