What readers are saying
Readers are largely impressed with the dark humor and sharp writing of the play, appreciating its contemporary take on heavy themes such as victim shaming and celebrity culture. Many find it a refreshing alternative to traditional holiday theatre offerings, although a few feel it leans too heavily on shock value.
