Top Guys?

This play was completely confusing to me. I did not like the way it was written. The characters, I'm guessing, are supposed to be cutting each other off in their dialogue but it just didn't "flow well" to me. In top girls, many women were bickering back and forth all at once and it still seemed real and natural. I suppose this story was more so written to be performed. I'm sure it would be much easier to understand and work much better if it were actually coordinated and spoken out loud. I did notice that it was similar to Top Girls but instead with all males. This play was about being the best, or being "on top" and how having a way with words can aid that. Speech and being able to convince and persuade others is a large aspect to gaining success. Profanity was pretty prominent in the play, being introduced to the reader in the first few lines. The profanity in this play definitely took me by surprise. This is the first play that kind of pushed it with cursing. I suppose the profanity in a way added to the masculinity of the play. This play was not really my favorite, It was somewhat confusing to read and did not really interest me.
