Who Knew?

I'm writing a play about first love and bear maulings, and it's surprisingly sad. I thought I was writing a comedy.

Have you read The Goat or Who is Sylvia? by Edward Albee? He's perhaps my favorite playwright and that is just a stunning piece of work. It's about a man who falls in love with a goat and it's not really a comedy... some parts are funny, but it's really got a lot going on.

I haven't read that yet, but I love Albee to no end.

This one isn't so much about the bear as a love object. It's more like a PTSD love story about damaged people trying to connect. I'd like to say it "has a lot going on," but really that's a euphemism for "it's a big old mess" at this point.
