This play is very frustrating. The fragmentary sentences, unfinished thoughts, and misinterpretations all contribute to making this play painful to read. Is it an anti-feminist play? Is it pro-feminism? Pro-academia? Anti-academia? These themes are so twisted throughout the narrative that it's hard to make out what the playwright is trying to say through this work. Ultimately, it just left me feeling angry with the characters (which, in retrospect, might actually be the point of this whole charade).
