Marisa King: Idiot’s Delight

May 8, 2021

This was a very well-written and thought provoking script with characters of various nationalities layering their perspectives onto the action. There were some extremely dark monologues which caught us by surprise but made sense given that the Great War still loomed large in the public consciousness and tensions were already building up to another world war. The postscript written by the playwright is especially poignant and we recommend reading it first to give context to the play’s setting and action.
