By No Means the Norm

Judith Thompson has a way of describing grotesque and abstract circumstances with flair. Her abstract character choices and weird twists provide an unpredictable play. Some horrid situations are even humorous because of the characters' cartoonlike presence in the play (reminiscent of Sam Shepard's characters). The play is a wild ride of love, existential human connections, death, and omens. It's a fast read and intriguing story. It's refreshing to experience an original play.
