"And with all that Bovell has shoved into this play, I think it's lazy of an audience to want the beginning spoonfed. You've got to be an active audience member and think. Is that so wrong?"
Oh, NOW I see, If a play is muddled and confusing, it's the AUDIENCE's fault because it is too lazy to try and make heads or tails of it. (Of course, what does it matter whether it's even worth the effort to even make heads of tails of it?) I guess that also means that if an author is too inept or lazy himself to write a coherent piece of work, that makes him a genius.
Gee, all those stupid, lazy audiences who through the years have appreciated perfectly-clear works by Shakespeare, or Congreve, or Moliere, or O'Neill, or Williams. But of course, as we all know, you're not required to think at their plays. Nor do they give you anything of value to think about. They're just a bunch of pandering authors who "spoonfeed" their audiences. If only they all could have been as deep and as challenging as the author of "When the Rain Stops Falling," and if only all audiences could be as insightful as those who like this mindblowing, stunning, brilliantly-written play. What a wonderful world it would be.
