I ended up liking this way more than I would have if I read this in print form. The audiobook had a lot of life and made things easy to follow. 

I'm glad I finally read this play, because I love stories about Faustian bargains. However, I had already started to dislike the title character during the first half, and part two was a bit chaotic even for me. 

In conclusion, Madoka Magica did it better.
