What an amazing play! Amazing actors! Amazing screenwriting!
Exactly a kind of play I like: Basically it was just four actors on stage (Michael Gambonm, David Bradley, David Walliams and Nick Dunning), in the cenario what is essencial and remained the same from the beggining till the end, as the story is passed in the same room, between an evening till the next morning. The dialogs are minimum and full of playing with words.
I liked so much that I had the urge to buy the book and go to watch another day!
An interesting quote from the beginning of the play:
"(...) there are some people who appear to be strong, whose idea of what strength consists of is persuasive, but who inhabit the idea and not the fact. What they possess is not strength but expertise. They have nurtured and maintain what is in fact a calculated posture. Half of the time it works. It takes a man of intelligence and perception to stick a needle through that posture and discern the essential flabbiness of the stance. I'm such a man." (Spooner dialog, act one, p. 3)
