Any thoughts about Naomi Wallace's Pinteresque and controversial play?

Pinteresque? Hardly. Wallace couldn't hope to achieve Pinter's economy of language or knack for evoking mood and relationships in a million years. It's a lousy, poorly written play that relies heavily on its "shocking" reveal but doesn't really achieve any emotional resonance. The acting is good enough, but there's not much that can be done with such a bad piece of writing. And I don't know how "controversial" it really is -- it's hardly treading new ground, there has been plenty of art about this topic going back to the ancient Greeks...

AC~ you're points are well-taken, especially the lack of economy of language. It did evoke a "The Homecoming" threatening tension,for me. I also feel the ending was too tidy, but I was very much drawn in throughout the play. Thanks for your thoughts .
