I remember seeing it before it hit Broadway years ago and just being blown away by how insultingly dumb the dialogue was. Nothing but truly ridiculous flowery metaphors that don\’t make sense either logically or in the context of the characters.
I don\’t remember the expression exactly, but a scene in which a rape victim compares her experience to \”a bicycle who has lost the boy who rode it\” or something equally inane almost made me laugh out loud.

This is why you don\’t give Pulitzers to plays that have yet to be produced.
