There are notes of humor throughout the whole thing, and I loved how even in the middle of violent, emotional fights Martin and Stevie take the time to comment on metaphors and congratulate each other on witty comments. While this play was absolutely extraordinary, and a real masterpiece, it was probably one of the most disturbing things I've ever read. However, I never liked it. this is almost a farce to Peter Shaffer's This is not really about a guy who fucks a goat (not that it couldn't be, but that only scratches the surface.)
