Apart from Blithe Spirit, (duhhh) this has been my favorite play that we have read. This in a way went along with the same reasons why I liked Blithe Spirit so much. Both Coward and Sam Shepard's language seemed to resonate with me. There was something about the style of writing that was not as off putting as so other works we have discussed. I also enjoyed the surprise of the actual material. I was skeptical about reading this one simply because of the title. I was waiting for Lonesome Dove to make an appearance, but thankfully it did not! Rather the play was nicely set in California, as opposed to Texas or Wyoming as I had thought. I guess this just goes to show how you can not just a book by its cover, or play in this case.I also really enjoyed the relationship between the brothers. It was something tangible and realistic in a weird way for me. this is another play that we have read in this class that I would actually really enjoy to see live.
