Horrendous Play; Good Study Guide

The play is one of the worst I’ve ever read. The author obviously hates his audience as he repeatedly tells us things he should show us, and does so with ham-fisted, overwrought hyperbole. The voice cast make the play so bad that I was laughing through half of it. Perhaps it was their choice to lean into the writing, or perhaps it is impossible to take this characters seriously without editing the dialogue as all recent screen productions have done. Either way, this play is even worse listened to than read.

Having said that, this is a study guide. This guide is probably good in preparing you for exams: it presents an interpretation which teachers will likely find sympathetic. However, a more diverse and intellectually deep analysis would have done students more good.
