Not Bad
I found this play extremely interesting. I liked following the different men and their interactions with each other. The style reminded me highly of Waiting for Godot because of the way there was very little movement written in the play. The characters and sets were also barely described. Not describing the characters at all left room for casting giving anyone a chance to be a character which I liked. I was never a fan of strict appearance unless it was necessary. The lack of description was a mixed blessing I think. The set designers could create whatever they wanted as long as it went with the location described in the brief phrase before the scene starts. However, the fact that it did leave so much room for creativity can sometimes be difficult because set designers can do whatever. The lack of action probably was to let the actors do what was natural to them which would then appear natural on the character.However, while reading it, the play sometimes seemed to be a little boring because in my mind the characters looked too stationary at times. Besides that, the play was cleverly written and the characters were "real" businessmen acting as corrupted businessmen would. The ending was odd though and left me on a weird note. I would have liked to see all of the story instead of just having it cut off like that instead of having to imagine it. Either way, I enjoyed the play, and I can live with imagining what happens after.
