Astoundingly boring play about nothing at all
I was forced at gun point to read this for my degree and I can honestly say that I am actually quite angry for not choosing to be shot. This play is the most boring thing I think I have ever read. It is a play about, almost literally, nothing. I mean - what's the point of it? What's the point of the so-called 'plot'? Nothing happens right throughout the entire work. As a further insult I just noticed that this work is listed as a comedy. That is nonsense. As an even greater insult my teacher described it as "probably the most beautiful play I have ever read." This made me want to hit the pretentious little berk in the face.

Good for exploring Stanislavsky's tecniques
This book has a good layout that is easy to read. I found it difficult to keep reading during the book because the humour is dry and mostly it does not aid the play. It is good for the study of Stanislavsky as many of his acting tecniques can be delveloped throught the play.
