I never read anything by this author before, and I only knew about this play because of the running show in London, starring one of my favourites actors (check it, it's at the Apollo theater). Before reading it, I discovered that THIS was the play that starred Julia Roberts (and the lovely Paul Rudd) in Broadway not long ago. The thing was becoming very interesting.
I read it.
I ate it.
I loved it.
I searched for some promotional interviews to the british cast on youtube, and found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8auxd60UATA&fmt=18
where the three actors talk a bit about it. They describe the characters as very bright, educated people, more intelligent than the real actors, a thing that didn't leave any room to improvisation; James McAvoy says something like "They think SO QUICKLY..". Well I couldn't say it better.
When reading it, my eyes RAN through the page, eager to know the next line.. I got immediately involved, like I couldn't take my eyes off of it, and my mind was litterally dragged along the whole story.
We see how the chidren question themselves about their parents, and how wrong they are about them, and we see what actually happened in the '60s, and we feel like we're the only ones to know what "three days of rain" meant to the parents.
It's my first contemporary theater material, and I found it incredibly good.
