This is a hard review for me because I can't honestly say that i liked it. There is no doubt that is masterfully written and a landmark in American drama. My issue is not with quality just with the content. The whole play feels very intrusive, like peeping through curtains. i couldn't shake the feeling that I just should not be witnessing something so intensely personal to the people in the play. In the beginning, Honey and Nick felt very much a part of the audience witnessing the cruel, twisted battles of George and Martha. The way George and Martha's games turned them from spectators to active participant was extremely disconcerting as an audience member, feeling that the same could easily happen to me.
