Some plays are confections and this is certainly one of them. Which is not to say it's insubstantial. Just because it's sweet, doesn't mean it's frothy. Hunt uses the contrast between the characters and the converging narrative structure, blending the dark and light, the creamy and the airy, to fashion a perfect chocolate mousse of a play... and it couldn't be more delicious and satisfying.
I recommend reading this after a long day. And let it be the last thing you read at the end of that long day. It'll nourish you for a better tomorrow.
