very zany, the philosophy and existentialism of it all went over my head a bit. interesting and absurdist buried themes of the line and power struggle for definition and identity between character/role and actor, destiny and purpose. interesting premise, and very funny characters. stage directions were very vivid and added another layer to the reading experience, the stage is used really well by stoppard’s characters.
