The play was brilliant
I loved it. Of course, nobody was happy and somebody had to die, but it's theatre! There were obvious Hamlet comparisons throughout. The guy who commits suicide is broody and melancholic and wants to produce fabulous, "new forms" writing... There's even a play within the play, like in Hamlet. Oh, and a ridiculous mother having an affair of sorts. Yet the whole thing was settled in the turn-of-the-century setting, with a wannabe Bohemian. Fascinating, fascinating play.
