Well, you have done an amazing job in capturing what the script is about, but I am definitely not in the target audience. I agree with you, even the target audience would miss out on a lot, if they watched, rather than read, the play.

Great review!
Haha, Nadaism is what I do naturally! Thank you for stopping by, Connie! I really appreciate it!

Lunastella wrote: 24 Apr 2019, 06:48 The concept of this book appeals to me because I was heavily invested in the literature academia and art scene for a long time and I know how many criticizable issues this topic can raise. However, I'm a bit hesitant to pick up the book because English isn't my first language and I don't know how much of a struggle would I face with so much wordplay.
Thank you for your creative and analytical review!
English is my first language, and I did struggle a bit with the worldplay! You may have to be cautious about it. thanks for stopping by, Andrea. I really appreciate it :)

I have not ever read any book like this,and probably won't ever dare to,because I will simply be lost. It is admirable how you not only read,analysed, and reviewed it,but put a clear and thorough picture to the audience. Thanks for the great review,Noor!
Thank you, Shrabastee! I really appreciate the kind words! :)

This makes to be a complex for me. I am not into arts that much and thus I might have to pass this. Thanks for the enthralling review.

I'm not sure I'd survive the onslaught of the author's "artistic license." I barely made it through the first paragraph, I suppose. Kudos to you for your sense-making, though. Thank you for your sensible and sensical review!

I am not into art as much as I thought, as I read the sample and was not too impressed with it. I did appreciate the review and thoughtful insights you provided! :)
