i don't really know if i'd connect this play to profiteering in the same way i'd connect all my sons to it. i know AMS isn't the profiteering OG tale but i would say its probably the best - this play felt very convoluted to me, definitely should've been watched rather than read. i didn't like any character and many things happened that were never brought up again, like what happened to the chaplain? where did swiss cheese go in the end? the last few pages were very sad though, and this was still pretty decent, some of it was even quite funny! one day i'll enjoy a book from my mwl module but today isn't that day
