This play is really really good. It takes place in the midst of Hamlet and brings two characters from the edge intp the forefront of th eaction. Whilst also blurring the roles that they both have. I love the themes of uncertainty and the vivid images, like th start with them tossing the coin and speculating the meaning of an chain of heads a row and the final scene which alters the way in which hamlet can be read an understood. I love the way questions are used in a game, how in the choas of the juxtaposistion of the two characters they enact. I love how they are so preoccupied with trying to find meaning that they often miss the real meaning and significance of what is happening around them. I love the post-modern way in which it fragments before all coming back together again. The way in which it explores profound questions in a midst of what seems like chaotic questions, the witty ramblings that go on between them, that expose philosophical issues.
“All your life you live so close to truth it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it's like being ambushed by a grotesque.”
“If this is our destiny, then that was his, and if there are no explanations for us, let there be none for him.”
