While the story of this play is interesting in its own light, what captivated me most was the exceptional utilization of form. Gibson is a master at playing with style and she uses that unexpected structure to really dig into the meaning behind these words. The split sentences and random capitals really gives the reader a strong sense of the conversations happening between the lines.
Also, I’m a sucker for good use of stage directions, and this play is absolutely exceptional at it.
