About book Vanya And Sonia And Masha And Spike (2013)
I loved this play. I love Durang and have read and enjoyed much of his work. I've never seen this performed live but looking forward to. Masha was a riot. I adored Vanya's wacky molecule play, Spike's opposite of a striptease, the Snow White costume theme, Sonia's Helen Mirren thing, all of it. Great and funny through and through. Now having read Three Sisters by Chekhov, I have new appreciation for the coffee mug incident at the beginning of Act One. It encourages me to read his Uncle Vanya for some more insight. A fantastic play. Just reading it, you could really see how it plays about on stage. I haven't had a chance to read any Chekhov plays, so many of the references (although not all, because I have some experience with Chekhov's writing) went over my head. I felt the ending wasn't too satisfying, but it still worked with the play. The characters were unique and you could really sympathize with them. 'A really nice play' is the best words I can use to summarize it.

Read it aloud with four other people, and we did have tears in our eyes from laughing sometimes.

Had a lot of fun reading this with my book club. The first half in particular is really funny.

Interesting play. Not an easy read, as I really think this is one you have to see to get.
