I have wished to read this play for a long time, I finally did it and all my expectations were beyond fulfilled. I have never read a play like this, I was so impressed by the intelligence of its crafting, the humanity of its characters, the ingenuity of its narration, the complexity of its dramaturgy and the political radicalism of this story. Now I can only dream to see this play live one day in my life because how the hell one does stage a play like this ?! This is pure genius, I’m only living in the hope that one day I will see Prior meeting the Angel in front of me in a crowded theater.
