A very nice play
I think that this is a very nice play for amateur theater companies: 10 scenes - 10 "love stories", couple by couple...

just a modern adaptation of the famous "La Ronde" by Schnitzler, good reading, good acting and good viewing... Nothing more.

mysoginist c***p!
Yet another pile of mysoginist c***p from this inexplicably, highly rated playwrite.
Although the cyclic form is intriguing, and lends itself to many exciting possibilities for staging, it is a poor depitction of sexual relationships and struggles. It favours men, in the most ridiculous sense. Infact it almost goes against the mysoginy it reflects; as it is a traditional and sexist notion that women are more sexually powerful and prevalent, the play fails to recognise this.
Back to the drawing board, Hare. Or do us all a favour and don't bother.
