      I thought it was done amazingly! It was lacking in nothing, just an all-around outstandingly made play. Really, it was venture into another world. Its exemplary acting, brought me back years into my childhood. A very original script too, I love such unorthodox things, like this play. Again, see this play. You owe it to call off plans and see this. Collapse
