I do not really understand the point of this play. As a person who believes not all art needs to have a message or objective that is more than pure entertainment, this is a bit out of character for me to say. However, like the review, I do not find this concept particularly engaging or entertaining. It seems like a rather droll piece, but I’m not even convinced it holds that kind of amusement. From the content described, it feels like a work in progress that has a ways to go before it gets to be as comedic as the original idea was intended to be. The level of detail apparently in the production is impressive and indicative of a very promising future. It would be interesting to see if this gets anywhere; Ars Nova has a history of developing works that really take off. I am also curious as to how this idea was initially thought up and then pursued.
