Yes I directed it at the high school I taught at.
I'll be the first to admit I didn't do a brilliant job as a director, but the show fell pretty flat. I think it's a finely written play, and it can succeed, but it really needs a terrific director (which I'm not) - I was not up to the challenge.
That said, the play is willfully vague and can be obtuse at times. It suffers from what I call "modern drama syndrome" in which anything too literal and story-minded takes a backseat to a symbolic atmosphere. I find that audiences much prefer the former, and modern playwrights much prefer the latter. My take, anyway.

Yes I had the same feeling. I have only been able to read the free sample on PlayScripts (which is quite a bit). But i feel the play tries to be something it's not. And if its not directed by someone who REALLY knows what their doing it could just tank.
