“It is clearn in reading this play why it is an award-winning piece. Powerful, dark, funny--beautifully written dialogue and wholly realized characters.”

I had to read this for my Theatre 101 class. It had an interesting plot and some very cool characters, but if I'm reading it I like to know what all is going on and that is hard to get from a brief synopsis at the beginning of the act. I can't tell the tones of their voices and it is hard to distinguish what they are feeling just through their dialogue. Anyway it was okay for a play in text.”

Took it as a sign (I had been meaning to read it anyway) and brought it home with me that night. Read it straight through and, wow, I fell in love. Would like to direct this one day.”

I enjoyed it, but I am not sure why it won a Pulitzer. I am planning on reading many more plays in the near future. (Then, I may be able to realize the true merit of this play.) "Proof" was a very good start into reading plays.”

I taught this one to beginning lit/research students, and we had a great time talking about gender politics, the academy, and faith.”
