“Theater imitates life If you don’t clap It means that life is rotten to the core And we may as well just head for the door.”
i have been waiting to read this play since my freshman year of college and now i finally have. overall i really love the idea of this show being in a house and you’re being taken around to the various scenes and they can be done in an order. of course seeing this show would be much different than reading it but overall i enjoyed it a lot and the views it has on the dirty war in argentina. also this was just creepy and disturbing and did an excellent job of using elements of theatre of terror, theatre of the absurd, and even theatre of cruelty…. so we love to see it!!!! anyways i definitely need to reread this at some point.
